Tourism
Walking is the best way to discover the main sights of the medieval center of Lausanne. But it is not always considered the most charming way. Those who cut the city aboard the boats that glide along Lake Geneva have the opportunity to see the panorama of Lausanne, punctuated by several bars, bistros, boutiques and one of the most beautiful Gothic cathedrals in the whole of Switzerland. The lake offers good conditions for sports such as windsurfing and water skiing. To climb the church tower and glimpse Lausanne from above, however, one must be on dry land. This is the only way you can smell the snacks emanating from the cafes and stop at a restaurant to sample the traditional steak tartar. A backdrop that contrasts with traditional Switzerland's fine cheeses and chocolates and the hustle and bustle of the ski resorts, but captivates by its quiet and elegant atmosphere and by the stunning location on three hills, surrounded by vineyards, with the lake kissing them the feet.
