The Best of Nyon Switzerland
Our destination for today is the beautiful lakeside town of Nyon Switzerland.
Located just about 15 minutes from Geneva, it features scenic sites, such as the waterfront, the white medieval castle and the three Roman columns... And, guess what, we got to see them all!
The Nyon Castle houses the local history museum and it features cells of a former prison (which to be completely honest we found a little bit terrifying).
The three Roman columns, in turn, are just a short walk away from the Castle and we got to admire them on the esplanade of the Marronniers (Chestnut Tree Square) while overlooking the great Lac Léman / Lake Geneva.
Finally, we even found a grocery store for all of you Americans living in Switzerland and feeling homesick. Although it had really bad junk food we bought a cake for Angelique's birthday for old times' sake.

Just for a Thrill by Ukiyo
Nyon, Switzerland, home of UEFA
Nyon, a town with a population of almost 20,000, lies on the shore of Lake Geneva, about 25km (15 miles) from the city of the same name. Geneva is sometimes said by careless sports journalists to be the home of UEFA – in fact the headquarters of European football’s governing body are here in Nyon.
My short film takes a look at the town, with its castle and surviving Roman columns, as well as the more modern, clean and tidy streets and public park. You can see how popular the lakefront is, where people come to sunbathe or just enjoy the fresh air and long views. As the film shows, water transport is significant in these lakeside Swiss towns, and paddle steamers and smaller passenger craft are useful to tourists and locals alike. UEFA’s modern building is not welcoming, but I have done my best to film it from the outside at least.

???????? SWITZERLAND: One Day In Geneva ✈️????????| TRAVEL VLOG #0086
One Day In Geneva, Switzerland | TRAVE: VLOG #0086
We had just one day in Geneva, Switzerland. It started off as a rainy, gloomy day, so we first explored an ancient archeological site underneath Saint Peter's Cathedral, with some of the ruins dating as far back as 100BC. We also enjoyed the small but stunning Chapel of the Maccabees inside the cathedral. After a delicious lunch of crepes, we headed for the waterfront and braved the cold wind to walk out onto the platform that sits in the middle of Lake Geneva, making for some stunning views of the lake, the city, and the surrounding Alps.
