Are you interested in exploring the historic origins and landmarks of the Olympic capital? This exclusive walking tour in Lausanne offers you a dedicated guide to unveil the unique charm of this Swiss metropolis.
Tour Overview
We will convene at your chosen time at Place de la Riponne to kick off this private exploration of Lausanne. Are you prepared to unveil the city’s hidden treasures? Let’s begin our journey!
Our first stop is the striking facade of the Palais de Rumine, a Renaissance structure that houses several museums and a library. Following this, we will immerse ourselves in the enchanting atmosphere of Lausanne as we meander through its picturesque old town.
Nestled along the banks of Lake Geneva and near the French border, Lausanne captivates visitors with its cosmopolitan flair along with its elegant palaces and churches. As this is a private tour, we will leisurely explore the old town, pausing in locations that pique your interest to delve into their rich histories.
Our journey will take us back to the 16th century, marveling at the Fontaine de la Justice featuring a quintessential Swiss design. Nearby, we will visit the Town Hall with its iconic clock tower and ascend the Escalier du Marche. This medieval staircase will guide us to the exterior of the Cathedral, a remarkable Gothic edifice boasting a history of over 850 years. It’s sure to impress!
We will also uncover the reasons behind Lausanne’s title as the Olympic capital, explore the vibrant Flon neighborhood, and before wrapping up, we’ll discuss the city’s connections to the Caminos de Santiago.
After approximately 1.5 hours, we will conclude this private walking tour of Lausanne at the original meeting point or at any central location of your preference.
