One of the most photographed musicians alive once married in near-total secrecy inside a modest town hall — two witnesses, one interpreter, a wedding the press didn't find out about for ten days. That's Lausanne. It is also the lakeside town of a few hundred thousand people that once decided the borders of modern Turkey. This self-guided walking tour and audio tour of Lausanne, narrated through the Tourific app, leads you past 20+ stops including a fountain where four rulers kneel before blindfolded Justice and a cathedral tower where a watchman still calls the hours into the dark, unbroken for six hundred years. Go at your own pace, no fixed start time, resume right where you stopped. Over 25,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours, backed by a full refund guarantee. For anyone who assumed Lausanne was just a pretty lake town, get ready to be proven wrong.
