Great way to spend an hour or two - We visited while in Montreux, a pleasant 50 minute stroll from the centre of town. It was a great way to spend an hour or two, informative and nice to have a suggested route. We didn't opt for the audio tour, but we felt we didn't need it. Information boards in French, English and German all around. 15CHF entry we thought was really good value, similar to a National Trust property in the UK

Beautiful and magnificent chateau - What a beautiful Chateau on the lakeside. It was very interesting with so many different levels to explore. The restoration has been magnificent. Utterly magnificent with interesting anecdotes.

Immerse yourself in a fairytale atmosphere - Nestled between Lake Geneva and the mountains, Chillon Castle offers an exceptional panorama. The rocky islet on which the castle was built was both a natural protection and a strategic location to guard the passage between northern and southern Europe. In the heart of its 46 rooms, you can relive the history of the fabulous Savoy banquets, the arrival of the Bernese in the Pays de Vaud and the presence of the Vaud. The castle became famous thanks to Jean-Jacques Rousseau who decided to set the story of his novel "New Heloise" here in the 18th century. From then on, he was a source of inspiration for several artists such as Lord Byron and Victor Hugo. I recommend renting an audio guide at the boutique located after crossing the bridge, to explore all the buildings and courtyards of the castle. In the boutique you will find books, postcards, souvenirs, toys and the renowned Clos de Chillon wine, aged and bottled in the castle.

By the lake. Very good - Very pretty chateau on the lake. So easy to find. We walked along from Montreax and bought tickets on the gate I recommend you get the audio guide. I got one and I'd summarise the rooms for my husband. Great fun! Such an interesting place and loads of facts on the guide. Was a great way to spend a few hours.

Great way to spend 2 hours - Despite a very cold and rainy day we thoroughly enjoyed the castle . We went around by ourselves although there is an audio guide available. We chose to read the brochure and the signs/posters at each stop. There are 46 points to view but unfortunately we were short on time and only did the first 30. Leave 2 hours to see everything or you will miss out. The ticket we bought on TA was cheaper as TA gave us a discount ...

Confusionary - You don't understand anything when you enter, scattered and confusing numbers. I appreciated it only later, once out, from the photos taken.
