What People Are Saying About Lausanne

The Olympic Museum

avatar
D了个Y
We came to a place called Olympia. The surrounding area was full of Olympia-related content. The Archaeological Museum of Olympia was one of them. It was the first provincial archaeological museum in Greece and a relatively professional museum. It was built between 1883 and 1886. The museum was mainly composed of sculptures, which was in line with our understanding of Greece. There were bronze, marble, and various other sculptures. Unfortunately, due to the age or other reasons, most of them were incomplete. It was really a pity.

Lausanne Cathedral

Munliga Pandontong
Lausanne Cathedral (Cathédrale de Lausanne), or its full name is the Notre Dame Cathedral of Lausanne (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Lausanne) is a Protestant church of the cathedral level of Lausanne, Switzerland. The cathedral began in the 12th century in the year. A.D. 1170 and completed in 1235. Later, this cathedral was declared dedicated to the Virgin Mary by the declaration of Pope Gorgy 10 in 1275 and also another name. Notre-Dame Cathedral (Notre-Dame) Lausanne Cathedral was the largest Cathedral in Switzerland at that time. with Gothic architecture The entrance arch is beautifully carved. Inside there is a stained glass that can go up 160 steps to the top of the temple.

Olympic Park

小思文
The Olympic Park is also a very beautiful place. The whole park is very large and the environment is quite elegant. There are many exhibits in the park, and you can enjoy many Olympic sports here. The visit to the park is also quite unique.

Lake Geneva

Nomad_Traveller
I have visited lake Geneva in the Summer and it is one of the nicest spots to hangout and enjoy Switzerland summer vibes. strolling along the flower-lined promenades is a must as it becomes magical during the sunset.

Golden Pass Railway

avatar
Gully
It is one of the prettiest places I have ever seen. In summer time, you’re almost guaranteed to have great weather. There are multiple paths to hike for more and less experiences trekkers.

Lausanne Ouchy

avatar
小思文
There are many yachts on the pier, which is also a place where you can taste local fish. The visit on the pier is also quite interesting. It is very comfortable to feel the sea breeze. There are many people going out to play here on weekends, which is also a nice scenery.

Chillon Castle

avatar
横竖是二温小迪
The adult ticket for Chillon Castle is 15 Swiss francs, the student ticket is 12.5 Swiss francs for Swiss Army, the child ticket (6-15 years old) is 7 Swiss francs, and the family ticket is 35 Swiss francs (2 adults + 1-5 children). It is free for those with Swiss pass, and you can also get the Chinese introduction of the scenic spot at the place where you buy the ticket. There is a Chinese audio guide, which needs to be paid for 6 Swiss francs. The castle stands on the lake, facing the water on three sides, and you can see different sea views from the windows of the rooms in the castle. It takes about 2 hours to walk around the castle and take pictures. There is also a souvenir shop in the castle, where we also bought celebrity photos and stamps. I have to say that it is convenient to buy stamps in Switzerland, unlike some European countries that often have celebrity photos but no stamps. If you want to take pictures of the castle, you have to go out and take pictures. The online guide says that you can take pictures on both sides. We are too lazy to walk, so we went in the direction where there are more tourists and took a few panoramic pictures of the castle. You can also take a panoramic picture of the castle on the panoramic train, but we used a mobile phone, and the pixel is too low.

IOC Headquarters

WillSum
The headquarters of the International Olympic Committee is leaning on the lake. From the door, the huge forest vegetation cover makes people feel that the environment here is very good. In fact, it is still a certain distance from the city of Lausanne. It is still a quiet effect. The area across the road near the lake can also be seen. Some statues reflect the sports spirit, there are often people running on the side of the statue. The atmosphere of life is very strong.

Palace of Nations

avatar
Nachtisch
The United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) is located in the historic Palais des Nations and is the second largest United Nations centre after the United Nations Headquarters in New York. The facility is a remarkable witness to the twentieth century architecture and is situated in the beautiful Ariane Park in Geneva, Switzerland. The Palais des Nations is one of the world's largest diplomatic conference centers. About 8,000 meetings are organized annually. Most of the conference rooms date back to the original architecture of the Palais des Nations in the 1930s.

The Geneva Water Fountain

avatar
Nachtisch
The Jet d'Eau is a large fountain in Geneva, Switzerland. It is one of the city's most famous landmarks, appearing on the official Geneva tourism website and used on the official logo for the 2008 European Football Championship group stage in Geneva. Located at the confluence of Lake Geneva and the Rhone River, the Jet d'Eau is visible from the whole city and even from the air, even when flying at an altitude of ten kilometers (33,000 feet) over Geneva. It is spectacular. On summer or festive nights, it is illuminated in color.
