Annecy Tourism - Travel to Annecy

Annecy is the Venice of Savoie- and a well- deserved title. The medieval town centre built around a 14th Century Chateau is dissected by small canals and streams running into Lac Annecy, which is clean, fresh and a wonderful azure colour.

Get into Annecy

Annecy is a popular day trip from nearby Geneva, Swizterland (bring your passport for the border crossing).

Do Annecy

Swim in the lake

Eat - Travel to Annecy

Eating- lots of tourist trap restaurants but look at the menus, be prepared to wander down alleyways to find the best small restaurants and always try to speak French.

Sleep - Annecy Tourism

Most visitors only come for the day, but accommodations are available in Annecy.

Buy

Annecy has a number of local artisan shops as well as many European chain boutiques.

Cope

The town itself gets ridiculously busy in July but September brings less folk- visit then when the air is clearer and the views to the mountains are better.
