Lausanne Wissenswertes

Lausanne - getting around

Despite the fact that navigation in Lausanne may be kind of difficult especially according to the city’s three-dimensional geography, once you get used to this you will never find yourself under a bridge without an idea of a way to the place you wanted to go to.

Lausanne is a rather small city and you can walk almost everywhere if you bring your trainers and relatively strong leg muscles. By the way, the Lausanne women are supposed to have the most beautiful legs in Switzerland as they always walk up and down the town hills.

The town has one subway line, while the second one is under construction, and a number of bus lines which will suit everyone who’s not fond of workouts. The M1 line goes from Flon to Lausanne University as well as Renens. Most tourists will, nonetheless, not choose going by bus and prefer a stroll.

A good deal of buses departs from Place St. Francois to Ouchy and surrounding suburbs as well. Lausanne public transportation is, that is to say, rather efficient and reasonably priced.
