Set in the Manoir de Ban — the elegant 19th-century mansion above Vevey where Charlie Chaplin lived for 25 years — Chaplin's World combines a biographical museum in the original house with a film studio across the courtyard. The studio recreates sets from City Lights, Modern Times, The Great Dictator, and others, with waxworks of Chaplin and contemporaries.
The mansion itself, restored to its 1970s appearance, is the more affecting half. Chaplin's library, his studio, the dining room where he hosted Picasso and Einstein. Allow at least three hours, more if you want to walk the 14-hectare grounds. The 212 bus runs from Vevey station to the museum gates.
