Lausanne
Located on Lake Geneva, Lausanne is the capital city of French-speaking region of Vaud, Switzerland.

The city is also home to the International Olympic Committee, the Olympic Museum, and lakeshore Olympic Park, as well as an old town that dates to medieval times.
Freeport

This city is less of a tourist attraction - a place where you'll find the true Bahaman culture mixed in with some relaxing spots to help you unwind and get into your island vacation.
