What to expect
The Statue de Freddie Mercury strikes his iconic pose against the lake — fans still leave flowers for the Queen frontman who recorded here and loved this town. Riddles hit all the right notes.
On the Place de l'Eurovision, trivia recalls the smoke on the water — the 1971 casino fire that gave Deep Purple a riff and Montreux a legend.
Then the Jardin du Montreux Palace offers Belle Époque elegance, palm trees and Alps sharing one impossible frame.
Around two hours along the flower-lined promenade. The final chart position is decided by the leaderboard — no jury votes.
