When in Switzerland, it is worth seeing what Lausanne offers and what a beautiful city it is. Of course, it's best to start your sightseeing at the center, which is the 12th-century Gothic Notre-Dame Cathedral with its huge organ, the 13th-century tombstone of Otto de Grandson and many works of sacred art. There are quite a few interesting museums in the city; in addition to the Historical Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, an interesting facility is the Aquatis, a place with huge freshwater aquariums housing numerous species of fish, reptiles and amphibians. It's also worth a visit to an interesting one-of-a-kind place - the Collection de l'Art Brut, which is a gallery that collects works by self-taught artists.
One of the more picturesque sights and a good place for a stroll is the covered staircase route from Place de La Palud up to in front of the main entrance to Lausanne Cathedral. The square itself is where most of the old town's streets converge. It is home to the city's oldest fountain and an antique clock that presents scenes from local history every hour.
Lausanne is a major road and rail hub, and there is also Lausanne-La Blecherette Airport just 4 kilometers from the city center. Switzerland is a very good place to use public transportation services.
The rail network here is extremely well developed and comfortable. Since a trip to Switzerland can put a lot of strain on the holiday budget, it is worth considering the most economical option for getting to and moving around the country, for example, by bus. And buses and trains run like clockwork there - Swiss, of course.
