Hi Felicia,

If you want to have a nice day in Switzerland you can visit Lucern - it is a small and beautiful village and there are interesting things to see. I was there one month ago and in the train station they have a very nice tourist center where they can speak English and can explain you what to do and where to go.
You can  make a tour in the center and around the city, have a nice walk along the river until you reach the Transport Museum. I couldn't visit it but I have heard that it is very interesting and it will take you around 2 hours to see it.
If you have a general abonament for the trains you can come back to Montreux by Golden pass train - it is 5 hours, but it is beautiful - the train passes through beautiful mountains and unfrogetable scenes!
Just be aware that if you want to do everything in Lucern you probably will have to stay there for the night, if you want to take the Golden Pass after.

If ou decide to do that - enjoy your weekend!!

Greetings,

Nina

 I liked Lyon and Marseille. Other than that... Barcelona is nice (depending on what you like though).
Any preferences? What do you wanna do? What are you favourite cities? There`s so many places to go from Geneva..

 Thanks everyone for the tips!!
I am looking to travel a little bit in
Switzerland as well as other countries.  I lived in Spain for 5 months so I would rather
explore other places.  I am going to Montreaux this weekend and looking forward to that.
 I am open to flying or taking the train, whatever is easiest.  Basically I'm looking
for fun places to go that may have fun things to do.  I am not so much interested in
museums (I know that's bad... but just being honest... I spent 1 hour in the Louvre and that was
enough for me :) ).  My favorite cities are Madrid, Barcelona, Prague, Cinque Terra, Italy,
and Lagos, Portugal.
Thanks again!

Probably my favourite town in Europe...

 Hey Felicia,

If you plan to travel in Switzerland a few times by bus and train I would suggest you to get the 'abonnement demi-tarif'. Have you been to Amsterdam or South of France (Provence or Côte d'Azur)?
Cheers

 you don't need to go that far away, try a visit to zurich. the city is like nowhere else in switzrland and is probably the livliest city in switzerland. everyone says "zurich rocks" never a dull moment. zurich is more like a metropolitan european city, more so than geneva or bern or lausanne.

 A bit of a summer thing but I like Lacanau in France, near bordeaux.  Nice beaches.  The sand dunes in nearby Arcachon are worth a visit.  Just back from Budapest - great for fast food and spas!

I liked Gruyere a lot, you have there very nice châteaux, nice village, a lot of cheese and spa, they have there stereo-massages, both sides at the same time, that’s fun

South of France is really nice, you should try it. I saw one of your fav' cities was Lagos? that's an unusual answer!! I've lived in Lagos for 3 years :)
