Lausanne or Geneva<\/a>? It\u2019s a bit of a conundrum in deciding which one to visit. Two cities that sit on Lake Geneva. One is a centre for international organisations and has a rich history, that’ll be Geneva. The other, Lausanne, although touches on its past, very much looks ahead. Is a forward thinking, dynamic city. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both cities are worth visiting, and you can check out Geneva<\/a> in our recent post. <\/strong>Before deciding between the two, let\u2019s look at Switzerland\u2019s fourth largest city. The city with the upbeat vibe, stunning views across the lake, vineyards, and hillsides of beauty. It\u2019s a commercial town with the surroundings of a holiday resort. Oh, and is the headquarters of the Olympic committee. <\/strong>Lausanne is quite the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a stroll around the medieval shop-lined streets, discover the museums, and enjoy a stroll in the parks and gardens. So, what exactly does this city offer? Let’s dive in and see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best things to do in Lausanne<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lausanne has several fantastic attractions to explore. Offering you, the visitor, a range of experiences and touring highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
  1. Lausanne Cathedral<\/strong>: You\u2019ll find this in the heart of the old town, majestic and dominating the surrounding area. Its spires pointing high into the sky. <\/li>
  2. The Olympic Museum<\/strong>: How about reliving some of the sports\u2019 most magical moments? The highs and the lows. Well, a visit here is a must, and you are in the Olympic city, so it\u2019s a must.<\/li>
  3. Collection de l\u2019Art Brut<\/strong>: It\u2019s one of Lausanne\u2019s key museums. There are plenty of surprises among the unique collections.<\/li>
  4. Lake Geneva<\/strong>: What more can you say? Part romantic, part spectacular scenery, and Lausanne is the place to capture it at its best. You\u2019ll find there are around 50 beaches in the urban area of Lausanne. What more could you ask for? <\/li>
  5. AQUATIS Aquarium<\/strong> \u2013 Vivarium Lausanne: It\u2019s immersive and interactive and presents animals in an exciting new way.<\/li>
  6. The Rolex Learning Centre<\/strong>: It\u2019s a laboratory for learning, and open to both students and the public. There are also social spaces, restaurants and cafes to enjoy. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Other places to visit<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    All that touring may have made you hungry. So why not try some of Switzerland\u2019s gastronomic delights<\/a>. Try some cheese (Gruyere), take in the rich green pastures around Lausanne. We\u2019re talking about medieval villages and a castle, offering up picture postcard scenes you’ll never forget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Oh, and then sample the wines. The Lavaux vineyard terraces are UNESCO-listed and with marked trails you\u2019ll get amazing views of Lake Geneva, The Alps and get to sample the wine produced. Now that\u2019s the way to spend a day, wouldn\u2019t you say?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Lausanne is a city that offers top attractions and a slice of Switzerland that few other places in the country can. So, back to our original question. Visit Geneva or Lausanne? Let\u2019s take the easy option by saying both! Well, each place has plenty to offer after all.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
