Located near the Ouchy port on the shores of Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) in Lausanne, Switzerland, the Olympic Museum is one of the city’s top cultural landmarks and a must-visit destination for international tourists. It is the largest archive in the world dedicated to the Olympic Games, showcasing over 10,000 artifacts related to sports and the Olympic movement. Each year, the museum welcomes more than 250,000 visitors from all over the globe.

The museum’s exhibits tell the inspiring history of the Olympic Games, from ancient origins to modern competitions. With interactive and multimedia displays, it offers an engaging experience for visitors of all ages — whether you are a sports enthusiast, student, historian, or simply curious about the Olympic spirit.

Next to the museum lies the Olympic Park, a serene sculpture garden nestled between the museum and the lake, perfect for leisurely strolls while enjoying breathtaking views of Lake Geneva and the Alps. Additionally, the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) are located nearby at Vidy, just west of Ouchy.

• Metro: The fastest and most convenient way is to take the M2 metro line to the Ouchy-Olympique station, which is located right next to the museum entrance.

• By foot: From Lausanne city center, enjoy a scenic 20–30 minute walk along the beautiful lakeside promenade, offering plenty of photo opportunities and fresh air.

• By boat: Regular boat services connect Lausanne with nearby cities such as Geneva and Montreux, stopping at Ouchy port — a memorable and relaxing way to arrive at the museum.
