Charlie Chaplin spent the last 25 years of his life in Vevey. You can easily see why. It is a cute, calm, old town with breathtaking views and nice surprises.
The older area near the water is filled with belle époque era buildings. They have covered the town in flowers. There is a nice, lengthy lakeside promenade with many parks. This makes it a perfect place to slow down, walk around and be pleasantly surprised.

| Definitely unexpected |
The Museum of Alimentation (food) had an awesome vegetable/herb garden out front, definitely a nice surprise.*
Seeing kids jumping from the pool area into the lake was definitely surprising. Although if you saw the bridge jumping post, it is, perhaps, less so.

A surprisingly good place to chill out, we wished we had brought our suits.
This game was another surprise. Please let me know if you know what they were playing. It looked like fun.
It would have been surprising if we had jumped in the fountain. We wanted to, but the kids wouldn’t get out.
What? You don’t see this every day?
Okay, the DeLorean wasn’t too much of a surprise, but the rest of the cars at the car show we stumbled into were.
* Nestlé is headquartered in Vevey. They sponsor the museum and might have had something to do with the fork too.
