Museums
Musée du Léman :
Immerse yourself in the rich cultural and natural heritage of Lake Geneva, one of Western Europe's largest lakes, by exploring the Musée du Léman. Captivating aquariums, boats, an authentic fisherman's hut, works by artists and scientists, and temporary exhibitions offer a complete immersion in this unique environment.
Roman Museum:
Founded in the 1st century BC during the lifetime of Julius Caesar, Nyon lies on the remains of Noviodunum, one of Switzerland's most significant Roman cities. The Roman Museum, built on the foundations of the ancient basilica, bears witness to two decades of intensive archaeological excavations in Nyon. It is constantly being enriched by new discoveries, transporting visitors back to the glorious past of this Roman town.
Nyon Castle:
Majestically overlooking the lake, the Château de Nyon rises up with its white turrets, creating a striking contrast between the finesse of the porcelain and the harshness of the prisons, the hardness of the stone and the refinement of the wallpaper. A former administrative and political heart of the city since the 12th century, the castle, now transformed into a museum, tells the story of Nyon's thousand-year history through its varied collections.
An historic past
Nyon's rich history dates back over 2000 years. Founded by Julius Caesar, the town has always developed while preserving its direct link with the vestiges of the past. The town center, unchanged since antiquity, completely envelops the Roman city, and every street reveals a piece of its history. Archaeological excavations, which have been steadily increasing as the city has developed, have revealed an abundance of Roman remains. So far, features such as a forum, basilica, aqueduct, dwellings, thermal baths and amphitheatre have been discovered, and Nyon's historical potential is far from exhausted!
Walks and parks
Nyon offers a profusion of parks and paths ideal for relaxing, picnicking and socializing with family and friends. Some of these green spaces are ideally located by the lake or overlooking it, offering breathtaking views of Lake Geneva and the majestic Alps.
When it comes to urban nature and biodiversity, Nyon abounds with treasures to explore on foot, every season of the year.
