How to get in Lausanne?

By train: Lausanne is 50 minutes away from Geneva Airport, 2h40 from Zurich Airport, and has many connections with European cities. For train schedules check out the Federal Railways site.

Parking

Unless you've got a parking place with your hôtel, two conveniently placed (but expensive) parking are:

• Parking de Montbenon
• Parking du Centre

Hotels

Here's a selection of hotels with reasonable prices. It is low season in Lausanne, so you should not hesitate to call for a quote.

You can find them from this link but this stupid web site does not permit direct links to the hotels (...)
