Where?

Place de la Gare

Owing to the quite distinct topography of the city, Lausanne’s first station was constructed outside its walls in 1856, amidst the vines (which back then spread out from Place Saint-François to Ouchy)!

How to get there

ArtsCultureExhibition

Just a few short steps from the main train station, PLATEFORME 10 is the arts district in Lausanne. Unique in Switzerland, this neighborhood has arisen on the site of a former railway locomotive repair shed. The site gathers the Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts (MCBA), the Cantonal Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts (mudac) and the Cantonal Museum for Photography (Photo Elysée).
