Nightlife Tour in Lausanne
Lausanne transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Lausanne Cathedral take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Night watchman for the kind of night that only locals know about.
Lausanne climbs steeply from Lake Geneva through a tiered old town to the hilltop Gothic cathedral. The city has been the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee since 1915, and the Olympic Museum on the lakefront traces the history of the Games. The Flon district, a former industrial area, has been transformed into the city's cultural and nightlife quarter.
