Residing on the shores of Lake Geneva, Lausanne is the capital of the canton of Vaud and boasts a population of approximately 140,000. This vibrant city with a backdrop of Jura Mountains and the Alps is located a scenic 62-kilometre journey northeast from Geneva. An integral part of the swiftly developing region of Arc lémanique, it offers a fine blend of modern appeal and historic charm for its 1.3 million inhabitants.

Lausanne's story begins as a modest Celtic and Roman settlement, which blossomed into a full-fledged town following the 12th century introduction of the famed Notre Dame Cathedral. Its ancient roots beautifully synchronise with its contemporary fame as a globally recognised sports epicentre, home to none other than the International Olympic Committee. Moreover, this Swiss city, nestled in a notable wine-growing region, is renowned as the smallest city globally with a 28-station metro system.

Taking pride in having hosted the promising athletes of the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics, Lausanne basks in its rich heritage that showcases Roman and medieval influences and centuries of serving as a haven for French Huguenots and European artists.

When to visit Lausanne

For those who love snow-capped mountains and chilly temperatures, a visit in January or February might just be your cup of Swiss hot chocolate. Do keep in mind that May, June, and December are relatively wet months so a good raincoat should be on your packing list.
