I have admired Patak Philippe watches in all the fashion magazines for many decades. So this was a huge event for me to be able to come to their museum. The museum is just like their shops, beautiful and elegant, super clean with white gloves. The museum has three levels and you can get an audio guide on the first floor. There's also periodic watch making demos you can join to watch a real live factory technician talk about watchmaking by hand. The amount of gorgeous watches from historical times to now, contains many priceless masterpieces. I especially love the ones with the music box and trinkets that moves. It is absolutely fascinating amazing to see. One of the coolest museums I've ever been in the world. Absolutely recommend!

Do note that the vast majority of exhibition text is in French and that the English text is scant (only for major exhibits and introductions to new periods or significant historical events). We did not use audio guides or join an official group tour. Though the exhibits progress from the 1600s to the early 2000s and are genuinely COOL, there is a lack of cohesion or progression and on top of that you're making awkward, jagged turns to follow the ascending numerical order of the exhibits. The space feels completely maxed out. The vast majority of visitors seem to have a truly difficult time following any preset order after turning the first corner of the two most dense floors. Though anyone could enjoy a short visit, it is disappointing that some of the absolute basics of watches that the average person would want to know about (how does a manual wind actually work, what is an automatic movement, what is meant by "complication," what is quartz, tell us more about the pocket watch to wristwatch thing, why are holy trinity watches so expensive, etc) are simply not addressed. The production quality of the video that is screened in the auditorium is DECENT but it ends abruptly almost as if the bureaucrat in charge of its funding just stepped in one day and said to the producer "okay--done!" Compared to the rest of the media put out by Patek, it's not a good reflection of the brand.

Next to St. Peter's Cathedral in old town Geneva is a nice little museum devoted to telling the…read morestory of the Reformation movement initiated by Luther, Calvin and others through to the 21st century. The museum building itself is a beautiful space and has been well maintained, it is a historic dwelling built during the 18th century and known as the Maison Mallet. As you walk through the old house each room is designated to different events of the Reformation. The museum does a great job of using modern day audio visuals, historic manuscripts, paintings, objects, and engravings to engage and keep you interested. For only 13 CHF you gain entrance and a audio guide to the museum. No additional fees for audio guides here. My favourite room was the music room which was made to look like a little chapel with two wooden pews, and you can select different buttons to listen to historic hymns sung by Reformed churches from around the world. I came into the museum not expecting very much, and thought I would be bored, but I found this little place interesting. The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 5pm. TIP: for tourists to the area who will be visiting all the Saint Pierre historic sites in old Geneva be sure to get the combined ticket for 18 CHF which gets you entrance to the following spaces: Cathedral + Towers, Archaeological Site and this Reformation museum. Pretty good deal!

Built as a replacement for the old Servette FC (the local Geneva football team) stadium, this impressive building is one of the best in the Swiss leagues. The atmosphere that can be produced here is fantastic and the amount of seats means it is very really sold out. So, even when their is only 5000 people there to watch a game on a cold & snowy sunday afternoon, do I have to wait so long to get a beer and a hotdog? Ok yes, the price is amazing for geneva, but still... we only have 15min between the 1st and 2nd half! SO HURRY UP!!!!!

Because of this though, I explored some of the less busy booths, and found some hidden gems! Also, be aware of your glass, as I saw many people getting jostled around, and their glass quickly then just became bits on the ground. I love that there are fountains to wash your glass out at and grab some water to drink located throughout the event. Makes it very convenient. I only wish they had a few more bathrooms. As always, the time at Arvinis goes by very fast, and I soon heard the announcement informing us that the event had ended. It is then a large group of people waiting to get out the door, if you are lucky, you might find some nice booth owners, who are looking to empty their bottles, and you can get some wine to sip on as you exit.

The wines come from all over the Schweiz and the globe. This year they featured Lebanon, just so you know. They also had sandwiches (which weren't included in the price)- pretty tasty, but small, and the wait staff weren't nice... Toilets are inside, but more or less porto-potty style. And with so much wine tasting, one must wait for a while... When it closed at 10, all the visitors fled to the McD's across the way. So many folks there, we missed our train (even with a delay)! But get there early, or go on a week night, and your wine tasting evening will go perfectly right!

I would say if you only have a break planned in Lausanne and can only visit one thing, this is the museum you should visit. Even if you are not particularly fond of olympics.

The exhibits were well put together, and there was a lot of interesting information to read with fun games for children.

The Olympic park outside is nice to walk around.

At the time I went, for the price of one, you get to enter into all 3, up to one year. I had NEVER heard of that. Catch is that you have to keep your paper receipt. General summary, this museum is a shelter for some important roman ruins. If you love archeology and ruins, this is the place for you. If not, you could probably pass by this one. You can ask for a manual with that translates the museum signs into your language. They had one in English. The museum is laid out nicely, and the staff was nice. Nyon's Roman Museum has been constructed below ground level, actually in the foundations of the basilica of the forum of Noviodunum. What is Noviodunum? Supposedly, it was one of the most important Roman towns in Switzerland, and it was founded in Julius Caesar's lifetime. They say that Nyon's history starts in 45 BC.
