Nyon also hosts the Visions du Réel International film festival every April.
Nyon Castle, a 12th-century fortress above Lake Geneva, contains the History and Porcelain Museum. Its former prison in the attic is open to the public. From the terrace visitors can enjoy the magnificent view out over Lake Geneva and the Alps and even have access to the Castle’s kitchen garden, still in use.
Artifacts from the Roman age from the area, such as amphoras, old coins, and parts of murals and statues.
A museum about Lake Geneva. There are vastly different things on display from photos and parts of ships to small aquaria with fish species living in the lake and a collection of stuffed land animals as well as works by artists and architects from the area and of course physical information on the lake itself and its properties and history.
Nyon is proud of its Roman ruins.
Must-see for all football fans. All the European Cups are on display inside the main building (if they let you in). Beautiful small park around the building with some football related memorabilia.
