At Heidi's Shop, you will find everything even remotely connected to Switzerland, things that you may not even know were connected to Switzerland! One can be slightly overwhelmed by the sheer variety of cuckoo clocks and cows that line the walls from floor to ceiling. However, if you can see through the more tacky items you can find some genuine Swiss gems that stand alongside the traditional tourist presents, such as the 4.5kg Toblerone bar and pen knives with 50 "useful" blades.

Lausanne sometimes seems over-run with department stores, but this one is a bit more upmarket than the rest. Like Globus, the building itself is not particularly appealing, but once you enter, though, you feel right at home. While not as extravagant as Harrods or Harvey Nichols, you still feel like you have walked into someone's flat. The store's elegance is subtle and understated yet there are enough enticing displays to remind you that you are there to shop. With designers such as Max Mara and Armani every age range is catered to. The BG Cafe is located on the third floor where customers love to relax after an evening of shopping.

There has been a paper supply store called Krieg in Lausanne for more than 130 years. Newly merged with Kramer in 1996, the KramerKrieg stores are among those must-visit places.

As "the" department store in Lausanne to visit, Globus boasts six floors of goods from fashion to sports equipment, hi-fi's to perfume. Much of what is on offer is what you would expect, but the food section is somewhat better than the rest. Food stalls at every entrance entice you off the streets and once through the dull facade, the interiors are well laid out and spacious. The store's stationary department mixes fun and practicality, and their array of shoes is fantastic. One could spend hours in here.
