The Lake Geneva region enjoys a mild climate with warm summers and moderate winters. Summer temperatures are pleasant for outdoor activities. Spring and fall can be cool with occasional rain. Winter is cold but rarely extreme, with the lake rarely freezing completely.
The castle has limited accessibility due to its medieval architecture. Ground floor areas like the courtyards,the Bazaar and the café are wheelchair accessible via ramps, but upper floors require climbing stairs. Strollers can be challenging on the cobbled surfaces and narrow passages. Contact the castle in advance for specific accessibility information.
Service charges are included in Swiss bills, so tipping isn't obligatory. However, rounding up or adding 5-10% for exceptional service is appreciated. For taxis, rounding to the nearest franc is common. Switzerland has high service standards built into pricing.
Try fondue, Switzerland's iconic melted cheese dish, and raclette, another cheese specialty. Rosti, a crispy potato dish, is popular throughout Switzerland. The region also offers excellent Swiss chocolate, local wines from Lavaux vineyards, and fresh lake fish like perch.
Switzerland uses the Swiss franc (CHF). While some places accept euros, you'll receive change in francs at unfavorable rates. Credit cards are widely accepted, but having francs for smaller purchases is recommended. ATMs are readily available throughout the country.
Plan for 1-2 hours to explore thoroughly. Audio guides are available in multiple languages. The castle features medieval dungeons, furnished rooms, and artwork. Photography is permitted. Wear comfortable shoes for uneven surfaces and stairs. Lakeside paths offer beautiful photo opportunities.
Late spring through early fall (May to September) offers the best weather with longer daylight hours. Summer brings peak crowds but pleasant temperatures. Winter visits are quieter with shorter hours, and the snowy Alpine backdrop creates magical scenery, though Lake Geneva winds can be cold.
