Lausanne is a charming and small medieval city on the shores of the Lac Leman (Lake of Geneva) in the French speaking part of Switzerland. Is it built on several hills, and many streets are pedestrian only especially in the Old Town so get ready to work your legs!
I spent all my teenage years living in Lausanne and I really love this city. There are many things to do, no matter the season... |
|  | Only a few cities in Switzerland have universties and Lausanne is one of them, which makes it a happening city to Swiss standards.... But there are other reasons why as well, as it is culturally established for the following reasons: it is the olympic capital where the Olympic Museum and the CIO (International Olympic Committee) are located; Maurice Bejart and his troup (Béjart Ballet Lausanne) have chosen it as their base; and it has the Theater of Vidy-Lausanne with its European vocation, just to name a few. |
