La Cité

ShoppingArchitectureHistoryHeritage
This is a quarter full of typical small bistros and craft shops. To the north of the Cité hill, at Place du Tunnel, avenue César-Roux avenue and Place de l’Ours, shops and quirky bistros cry out to be discovered. It is around the Cité hill, sculpted by the Flon and Louve rivers, that the mediaeval town grew. Its cobble-stoned pedestrian streets as well as its monuments, the Cathedral of Lausanne, the St-Maire Castle and the Old academy, bear witness to that.

Lausanne Cathedral

HeritageArchitectureHistory

Lausanne's iconic cathedral has towered over the city for more than eight centuries. A masterpiece of Gothic art, it captivates visitors with the harmony of its architecture, the richness of its sculpted details and the serenity it inspires. From its tower, an exceptional panorama opens up over the roofs of the Cité, Lake Geneva and the Alps.

Since it opened in 1997, the Museum of the hand Unil-CHUV has been promoting scientific and medical culture to the general public. It offers themed, interactive exhibitions that make a dynamic and inventive contribution to the understanding of science and medicine. The themes chosen are always at the crossroads of science, medicine, biotechnology, history, the arts and society. The exhibitions are accompanied by a sustained programme of events, meetings and debates aimed at the general public, young people and schools.

The Museum of the hand Hand Museum works in partnership with the Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois in Lausanne (CHUV) and the University of Lausanne (Unil). Many other institutions support the museum, depending on the exhibition chosen themes.
