Above the train station, a complex of 17th-century homes once belonging to the town's successful winemakers is now the Musée du Vieux-Montreux (Museum of Old Montreux). This historical museum traces regional development from the time when Roman coins were used as tender, focusing on agricultural life and the shift to tourism. Profiles of famous residents and visitors who lived and worked in the area are highlighted. The museum's cellar restaurant is a good place to sample typical cuisine.
