Lausanne City Travel Guide - Tourist Information

Destination Travel Guide - Tourist Information

Lausanne Photo

Being a chess fan, I had heard about Lausanne before visiting Switzerland. Lausanne is famous in chess world for hosting tournaments.

Lausanne is in the city in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. It is situated in the shores of beautiful Lake Geneva (Lac Léman in French). Lakeside is the most vibrant of places in Lausanne to see. You can relax and wind down, play chess with huge chessboard and huge pieces. There are plenty of colourful boats parked and waiting to go. I visited the lakeside once in April and once in September and the whether was gorgeous.

The headquarters of the International Olympic Committee are located in Lausanne.

Cathedral Notre-Dame of Lausanne is located very near to the Lake Geneva and you may combine the visit to both places. We walked down from the Lausanne rail station to the lakeside. We in fact walked with a pushchair and it was not a long walk. May be 10 to 15 minutes.
