What makes Lausanne a must-visit destination?

Lausanne, the capital city of the canton of Vaud, lies on the edge of Lake Geneva. It extends from Lavaux to La Cote. Ranked amongst the most beautiful cities not only in Switzerland but also around the world, Lausanne’s landscape is stunning, to say the least. One of the first things that you will notice is its pristine natural beauty of snow-coated mountains and lush meadows beautifully interspersed by Lake Geneva.  As you explore with a Switzerland tour package, anywhere you go in the city, the views of snow-drifted French Alps searing through clear blue skies accompany you.


One of the major landmarks here is the 12th-century Cathedral of Notre Dame, which is famous for not only its imposing arches and facades but also for housing a 12 million dollar organ gifted by the city of Boston. When in Lausanne, don’t miss visiting the vineyards of Lavaux. Stretching up till Vevey-Montreux, these stairlike vineyards are a haven of tranquillity and beauty. Since they are considered to have universal importance, they were included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. You can walk for miles amidst these lush plantations and some of the most delicate wines on earth. 


The city was established by Romans and their imprints can be seen everywhere- in its culture, monuments, and food. Lausanne is inhabited mostly by students and young people, and that’s reflected in the verve of the city. The streets come alive with community markets, that are held here often, with hundreds of local street vendors selling amazing Swiss foods, beer sellers, souvenir shops, and street musicians lending a beautiful vibe to the city. When you’ve done too much sightseeing and want to spend time in solitude that only nature can provide, head over to the Sauvabelin Forest area.


It is a stunning sight to see the crystal clear waters of Lake Sauvabelin reflect in its waters the dark silhouettes of tall trees and the golden setting sun behind them. Helicopter rides are available for you to soak in panoramic views of the city as you cruise high up in the skies.Lausanne cloudy weather adds to the romantic Swiss atmosphere. It rains intermittently all through the year. The coldest month is January with temperatures falling to around 1°C. Summers are warm yet pleasant with temperatures hovering around 20°C.

The Europe Delights tour was a memorable and enjoyable way to discover some of the most charming and captivating places in Europe. The tour was well-executed, reasonable and comprehensive. I got to visit England, France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Italy, and see some of the most iconic and gorgeous sights, attractions and scenery in the world. The tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They gave us tips on how to make the best of our experience and savor the local delicacies. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the food was scrumptious and varied. I loved the optional activities, such as the London Eye, the Eiffel Tower, the Rhine Cruise, the Mt. Titlis, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Vatican City. The tour was a great combination of history, adventure and relaxation. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to enjoy the delights of Europe in a short time.
