About
Quick facts: The statue depicts Freddie Mercury sitting on a bench, perfect for a photo with a view of Lake Geneva. It is located near the Hôtel Montreux Palace, where Freddie spent a lot of time recording albums.
Highlights: Around the statue, flowers grow that remind of Freddie's love for nature and evoke the atmosphere of his creative days in Montreux. Visitors often leave small items or messages on the bench in memory of the singer, creating a unique community and almost family atmosphere.
Insider tips
- Dress comfortably because the site is outdoors and it can be windy by the lake.
- Photos look best with the view of the lake from the side of the bench.
- Don't forget to check out the hotel surroundings where there are more musical souvenirs.
- Avoid weekends when more tourists come and local photographers shoot clips.
