LAUSANNE

Lozanne is a city and the capital of the Swiss canton of Vaud in the west of the country. It lies on three hills on the northern shore of Lake Geneva and has been a sizable settlement of great commercial importance since ancient times primarily due to its location on the route of an important route from Italy to Gaul.

Lozanne is located in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. This old university city with a great university organizes numerous congresses or fairs and attracts many tourists. Lausanne is also the world capital of the Olympic Games, a city famous for great wine and greenery. Life there is centered around the waters of Lake Geneva and the rivers La Venoge and Flon, and good places to relax among the greenery are the Parc de Valency and Parc de Denantou.

Losanna - attractions for everyone

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.

Commuting to Lausanne

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.

Lausanne is the second-largest city on Lake Geneva and the capital of the canton of Vaud (which speaks French). Its long and rich history dates back to ancient times. Tourist guides point out that it is here that the International Olympic Committee has its headquarters. However, this city offers much more.

ZYWIEC

Zywiec is not just a local brewery. It's a city located in the middle of the mountains and full of attractions. That's why check out what to do in Zywiec right now before you check out the beer museum.

What to do once you reach Zywiec by bus

If you are considering an extended stay in or around Zywiec, especially during the holiday season, a trip to Lake Zywiec is a must. It is a reservoir created in 1966. In order for it to be created, several villages had to be depopulated and flooded, including Zarzecza, Tresna, and Stary Zywiec.

In the part of Tresna that was not flooded, a dam and hydroelectric power plant were erected.

Zywiec has a municipal beach, although it still lacks infrastructure. Therefore, plan an outing to the water with your own provisions.

A regatta is organized on the waters of Lake Zywiec in August, a memorial to Adam Banaszek, commander of the Bielsko Yacht Club, who died in 1992 while sailing the "Dar Bielsko".

Travel to Zywiec by Sindbad coach. What to do in Zywiec

Zywiec is located in the middle of the Beskid Mountains. The Beskid Zywiec is of course surrounded by it, but right next to it you will also find the Beskid Slaski or Beskid Maly. If you go further south, you can hit the Slovak Beskid, while west of Zywiec is the Silesian-Moravian Beskid. If you're a novice hiker, it's worth climbing Skrzyczne, the highest peak in the Silesian Beskid, which rises more than 1,200 meters above sea level. In Beskid Maly you must climb, if that's the right term, Czupel (just 933 meters above sea level). In Beskid Zywiecki, Babia Gora awaits you with 1,725 meters above sea level, making it the highest peak in the area.

There are several roads leading to the summit. One of them is the Akademiks' Pass. When deciding on this particular route, you need to be aware that it's a one-way road, and before the summit itself you will face a short climb over rocks using chains attached to the rocks. Therefore, if you manifest a fear of heights, you should consider a slightly longer, but easier route.

The city is located in the Zywiec Basin in southern Poland, next to Lake Zywiec. The seat of the Zywiec district government is located here.
