This legendary establishment, known as the "Mountain Studios," has witnessed the creative energies of music icons like David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, and, of course, Queen.

  • It’s a kind of magic! Whether you're a devoted Queen fan or not, the Queen Studio Experience is a must-visit. Offering profound insights into the album-making process, it showcases numerous artifacts, spanning from the early albums to the 'Made In Heaven' album, a poignant release Freddie Mercury never had the chance to witness. Don’t overlook the intimate theatre tucked away in the corner; it's a treasure trove of entertainment and history. Plus, they'll unravel the fascinating origins of the Freddie statue on the Montreux waterfront.
  • An extraordinary and cost-free experience! Housed in the Montreux Casino on the grounds of their original recording studio, the Queen Studio Experience boasts an array of memorabilia and an interactive session with the mixing desk. The visit is time-efficient, taking only an hour, and you also have the opportunity to contribute to AIDS research.
  • A dream come true for any Queenie! Exploring the Queen Studio Experience surpassed all my expectations. The handwritten lyrics and studio equipment were a delight. Experimenting with the mix of 'Made in Heaven' added a playful touch. While a must-visit for Queen enthusiasts, others will also find the band's history captivating. The exhibit leans heavily into Freddie Mercury, passionately supported by the Mercury Phoenix Trust. If you find yourself in Montreux, it’s an experience not to be missed. Admission is free, with a suggested donation to the trust.
