Three rental companies operate in the center and from here you can reach Montreux in 8 km (about 10 minutes) and Lausanne in 20 km (about 20 minutes). The Lavaux vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage site, begin directly west of the city.

Vevey's waterfront promenade along Lake Geneva with views of the Alps in France is one of Switzerland's most beautiful. Chaplin's World Museum is located 3 km north of the center in Corsier-sur-Vevey and is a popular attraction. Drive the Lavaux vineyard route from Vevey toward Lausanne (20 km) on one of Europe's most picturesque roads.
