Lausanne combines Gothic towers, Olympic heritage, and lakeside promenades into a city of vibrant contrasts.
Rising above Lake Geneva, Lausanne blends Gothic grandeur, lakeside calm, and a vibrant cultural spirit. Begin with a stroll through La Cité, climbing cobbled streets to the majestic Lausanne Cathedral, Switzerland’s finest Gothic landmark with sweeping views of rooftops and distant Alps. Head down toward the waterfront to the Olympic Museum & Park, where interactive exhibits and sculpture gardens celebrate the world of sport. Conclude with a leisurely walk along the Ouchy Promenade, lined with gardens, fountains, and swaying boats.
