Much like Montreux and Vevey, Morges is a quiet town on the shore of Lake Geneva. Most famous for its quadrilateral castle with round towers on all corners, the old town area of Morges is full of buildings dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. During summer, the castle is open as a museum in the day and turns onto a movie venue in the evening.
In front of the castle is a long promenade along the lake with a dock for hundreds of sailboats on the western end and a colourful public garden dressed in flowers and trees on the eastern end. When Belle Epoque paddle boats aren’t docking by the pier, locals use it to go fishing after work. Visitors can stare at Mont Blanc for a while before going back up into the old town.

The Main Street of the old town is fully pedestrianised with cafés and restaurants spilling on to the sidewalk. Themed flags of Switzerland and the canton of Vaud hang from strings drawn from low-rise buildings on both sides to give it a year-round festive atmosphere. While the castle is on the eastern end of the street, a local church can be seen down the middle of the western end of the street.
It’s not much for tourism, but great for a stroll on a lazy weekend afternoon.
