Why Ouchy Waterfront matters
Ouchy is the old port district of Lausanne, now a relaxed promenade with cafés, sculptures and ferry piers. It's a place to sit with an ice cream and watch boats. The metro runs right down from the old town.
Talking points
- The waterfront has a relaxed holiday feel.
- Ferries leave for other lakeside towns.
- It's a short metro ride from the centre.
