Lausanne

Lausanne is the second largest city on Lake Geneva and is also called the Olympic Capital. Here you will find the Olympic Museum right near the shore. From the charming but steep old town you get an unrestricted view over Lake Geneva. The easiest way to overcome the altitude in Lausanne is to take the only metro in Switzerland, which runs from the lakeside through the entire city to the northern residential areas. Lausanne is surrounded by numerous vineyards, including the world-famous UNESCO World Heritage Site Lavaux with its vineyards
