City advice

Getting around

Public Transportation

Lots of public transportation that can get you pretty much everywhere in and out of Lausanne. Even thought walking is also an option, but you may find it difficult because of the steep hills in Lausanne. Prices or relatively expensive, 3,70 francs for one trip.
