Lausanne

Lausanne

A lakeside city with Alpine views, offering a Gothic cathedral, diverse museums, and rich architecture, perfect for leisurely exploration.

Lausanne occupies the northern shore of Lake Geneva with the Alps beyond, and combines the feel of a cultured regional capital with that of a lakeside city. The old town rises steeply to the Gothic cathedral, while museums across the city reflect the breadth of its artistic and historical interests. There is enough architecture, scenery and civic life here to sustain more than a passing visit. Lausanne rewards a slower pace than first impressions might suggest.
