What to do and see in Lausanne, Canton of Vaud: The Best Art Galleries
Lausanne was once an intellectual capital, attracting great thinkers such as Rousseau and Voltaire. Today it is a haven for those who love water skiing, swimming and sailing. The International Olympic Committee is even headquartered here. The town's history is evident, though, in its medieval cathedral, the museums of the Palais de Rumine, and Ouchy, the port where Lord Byron wrote "The Prisoner of Chillon" and the Treaty of Lausanne was ratified. For great views, hike up to the Signal de Sauvabelin.

Amazing exhibition of Canadian Impressionism in this jewel of a gallery. The city is so fortunate to have such an amazing home to display heritage work in a heritage parlour environment. The staff and director are top notch!
