Lausanne and Surroundings

Lausanne is located in the French-speaking part of Switzerland (Romandy) on the pituresque shores of Lake Geneva (Lac Léman). The old town dates back to medival times, sporting a selection of Medieval architecture, including a 12th century cathedral, which boasts a delightful panorama from the city from the top of the tower. On the hills to the east of Lausanne lies the UNESCO World Heritage wine growing region: Lavaux, with beautiful terraced vineyards. The port of Ouchy offers a floral promenade along the edge of the lake and ferry transport (including some 100 year old paddle steamers) to other cities on the lake (e.g. Montreux, Évian). The Swiss Alps area mere 1-2 hours by train and clearly visible from the city. More detailed tourist information about Lausanne and the surrounding regions can be found here.
