Is Lausanne worth visiting?
Both approaches work. Lausanne is a UNESCO World Heritage city with its own architectural and cultural character, particularly around La Cité and its public squares. However, its proximity to Geneva (51.1 kilometres) makes combining the two logical if your time allows. Lausanne also sits within a cluster of other Swiss cities, Fribourg, Neuchâtel and Bern are all within easy day-trip range, so it functions well as a base for exploring the wider region.
