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'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.

In the centre of the square is the town’s oldest fountain, adorned with a statue representing justice. Close by, a clock presents the history of Vaud in animated scenes every hour from 9:00 to 19:00. On Wednesday and Saturday mornings this is the site of the country market, which also sets up shop in the neighbouring pedestrian streets. Every first Friday of the month, it plays host to a craft market. Typical cafes, boutiques and large, elegant shops complement what this high-class district, which is completely pedestrianised, has to offer.

Since his childhood in the olive groves in the Italian region of Calabria, Nicola Fiamingo has always dreamed of having his own restaurant by the name of "Ulivo". His dream has come true in downdown Lausanne. This city holds no more secrets for Nicola, who trained with some of the best restaurants in Vaud, especially in the Accademia in Ouchy, which he managed for 10 years.

His city restaurant offers a cordial welcome in true Italian style. The card is short and is changed regularly over the seasons. But, most importantly, all dishes are home-made and freshly prepared. This quality and freshness has been rewarded with 12 GaultMillau points. Pasta, ravioli, seafood, beef tagliata, cannolo and panna cotta: all these delightful specialties are on the menu to transcend your taste buds with flavours of southern Europe.
