The wide embankments on Lake Geneva, the Olympic Museum, the widely diverse urban quarters and the parklands: Lausanne is full of joie de vivre. Alongside Notre Dame Cathedral, the metro is a key city landmark. Also, thanks to the hillside location, you can see the lake wherever you go.
Start your sightseeing in Plateforme 10, the cultural quarter next to the train station. Further north, explore the lively Flon district. Next you’ll encounter the historic heart of Lausanne: Take a leisurely stroll to the Place de la Palud and via the Escaliers du Marché to Notre Dame Cathedral. Here, a tower watchman has been calling the time on the hour every night for 600 years. Switzerland’s only genuine metro will take you to Parc de Sauvabelin, where you can slow your pace in the wide green spaces or take a boat ride on the park’s idyllic lake.
