The Olympic Capital rises steeply from Lake Geneva, home to the International Olympic Committee and the Olympic Museum with its lakeside park. The Gothic cathedral dominates the skyline of this university city, while the Flon district pulses with bars, galleries and startups. Lausanne's metro — the world's smallest automatic metro — connects the hillside neighborhoods.
