Lausanne’s location is very picturesque: it’s no wonder that the International Olympic Committee has had its headquarters here since 1914. The city is built on three hills, surrounded by vineyards, Lake Geneva at its feet. On the opposite French shore, the Savoy Alps rise impressively. The old town, which is well worth seeing, is largely car-free. Small alleys with cafés and boutiques characterize the streetscape in the medieval town center.

Lausanne, the Olympic capital, is a renowned centre for education and research, as well as an important destination for business tourism. Lausanne, the cradle of the Olympic movement, offers a wide range of activities that create a unique environment where sport, culture, technology, medical research and innovation come together. As far as nature is concerned, the city offers an overwhelming panorama of Lake Geneva and the Alps, one of the most beautiful landscapes in Switzerland. This makes the metropolis an ideal starting point for excursions or incentive activities. Lausanne is manageable and one of the greenest cities in Europe. The prestigious magazine Monocle has awarded it the title of „Best small town in the world“ (less than 200,000 inhabitants).
