The Great Escape

Where?
Rue de la Madeleine 18

Ideally located halfway between the Cathedral and Place de la Riponne, The Great Escape is a bar where you can meet up with friends for apéro or watch a football or rugby match.
That little extra from the food insider "Guidegastronomique.ch": the large terrasse, always very lively.
Favourite dish: the fish and chips

Lausanne Cathedral

HeritageArchitectureHistory

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.

Due to the renovation of the vaults in the south transept, the rose and its stained glass windows will be inaccessible until spring 2027.

It’s probably one of Lausanne’s unmissable places, but it’s also my hangout in the evenings when I join friends for a beer. It’s the very relaxed, even festive atmosphere that immediately appealed to me, as well as the industrial setting. They have excellent IPAs that are the reward I need after a long day’s work.
