What People Are Saying About Canton of Vaud

Golden Pass Railway

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.

Chillon Castle

avatar
横竖是二温小迪
Xiyong Castle adult tickets are CHF 15, student tickets Swiss soldiers 12.5 CHF, children tickets (6-15 years old) 7 CHF, family tickets 35 CHF (2 adults + 1-5 children). There is a Swiss pass for free, and you can also get Chinese attractions at the place where you buy tickets. There is an audio tour in Chinese, and you need to pay an additional CHF 6. The castle stands on the lake, facing the water three times, and you can see different sea views from the room window in the castle. Walk around the castle and take pictures for about 2 hours. There is also a souvenir shop inside the castle, where we also buy star pieces and stamps. I have to say that it is convenient to buy stamps in Switzerland, unlike some European countries where there are often star pieces and no stamps. To shoot the castle, you have to go out to shoot. You can shoot on both sides of the online guide. We are too lazy to go. As the tourists are in the direction, we have taken a few panoramic views of the castle in the past. Panoramic views of the castle can also be taken on the panoramic train, but we use mobile phones, the pixels are too low.

The Olympic Museum

Come to a place called Olympia, surrounded by Olympia-related content. The Olympia Archaeological Museum is one of them. It is the first provincial archaeological museum in Greece. It is also a professional museum. It was built in the year 1883-1886. The museum is mainly sculpture. It's in line with our understanding of Greece, bronze, marble, all kinds of things, but it's a pity that the ages or some other reason have been missing.

Lausanne Cathedral

Munliga Pandontong
Lausanne Cathedral (Cathédrale de Lausanne) or the full name Notre-Dame Cathedral of Lausanne (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Lausanne) is a Protestant cathedral in the city of Lausanne, Switzerland. The cathedral was begun in the 12th century in 1170 and completed in 1235. Later, the cathedral was dedicated to the Virgin Mary by a proclamation of Pope Gregory X in 1275. It is also known as Notre-Dame Cathedral. Lausanne Cathedral was the largest cathedral in Switzerland at that time. It was built in the Gothic style. The entrance arch is beautifully carved. Inside, there are stained glass windows that can be reached by climbing 160 steps to the top of the cathedral.
