Interesting atmosphere at the port with a view of Lake Geneva and the partially snow-capped mountains on the other side. Here you have the opportunity to cross over to Evian, for example.

In Ouchy, the traditional port of Lausanne, you will find striking 19th-century hotel buildings, such as the Gothic-style Hôtel du Château d'Ouchy (1889-93), the Hôtel d'Angleterre (1775-79) and the Hôtel Beau- Rivage (1858-61). Among the well-known visitors are the noble family Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn and Richard Strauss, who lived here with Pauline Strauss-de Ahna for a few years and finished his opera Die Frau ohne Schatten.

Along the waterfront stretch extensive parks, such as the Parc du Denantou, with resting places, sculptures and recreational opportunities on Quai and a neo-Gothic tower ruin of 1830. The port area is not only as a recreational area and especially for tourists exceptionally popular, it also enjoys inline skaters and related sports of great popularity.

Other attractions in the harbor area and its generously sized park include the seaside resort Bellerive-Plage of 1937 and the extensive grounds of the Swiss National Exhibition of 1964 and the Olympic Museum (Musée Olympique) and the Musée de l'Elysée.

A walk along the harbor is always great and has that certain something; whether by the lake or the sea - there is always a lot to observe and marvel at
