Owing to the quite distinct topography of the city, Lausanne’s first station was constructed outside its walls in 1856, amidst the vines (which back then spread out from Place Saint-François to Ouchy)!
Located in the heart of Lausanne, a short walk from the SBB station, PLATEFORME 10 is a cultural site unique in Switzerland, bringing together three major cantonal museums: the Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts (MCBA), the Cantonal Museum of Design and Contemporary Applied Arts (mudac) and the Cantonal Museum of Photography (Photo Elysée). A must for art lovers and culture buffs alike.

The present building, at the heart of the city today, was built almost a century ago, inspired by Leipzig station (Germany).
