Lausanne, Switzerland

Photography Tour in Lausanne

The best photos of Lausanne aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

A hilly Lake Geneva city with a Gothic cathedral, the Olympic Museum, and a tiered old town connected by a metro.
