Château de Chillon: A Fairytale Fortress on Lake Geneva
Visiting Château de Chillon on a winter’s sunny day was an unforgettable experience. The crisp air and clear skies made the castle’s medieval architecture stand out even more against the stunning backdrop of Lake Geneva and snow-capped Alps. We were lucky to find the castle surprisingly uncrowded, allowing us to explore at our own pace, lingering in each room and taking in the history and beauty without the usual crowds.
The tranquility of the winter day added to the castle’s charm. The sunlight glinted off the lake’s surface, casting a golden glow on the stone walls of the château. From the serene lakeside walk to the majestic interiors, every corner felt like a scene from a fairytale. It was truly a magnificent experience, where the combination of history, nature, and perfect timing made our visit feel like a rare, personal escape into the past.

Geneva
Geneva is on the southwest French-speaking part of Switzerland. You won’t hike the Swiss Alps here, but as the second largest city in the country, there are plenty of museums and attractions to visit. I strolled around the city for two days visiting the home of the United Nations, the Flower Clock, the Reformation Wall, and CERN. If I had more time, I would have visited more of the museums around Old Town and gardens.

Geneva, Switzerland
Switzerland has always been my dream place to go. I used to plan on getting my hospitality university degree here but it never come into reality. Although I have search so much information on the university and learn French, I never touch this place until when I decided to go over for holiday.
This sum up of my trip to Geneva. The place is so beautiful, lake is green in colour and have swan on it. Just by seeing and capturing the building pictures is already satisfying. Where else can you find green lake, tall colonial european building?
Whenever you visit foreign country, do tag along local friend if you have one! For easier communication 🤗
