Genève ville culturelle
by Sheila.
Carrefour des idées et des hommes, Genève a reçu la visite de maints personnages illustres, à commencer par Jules César, qui en 58 av. J.C. en fit un poste frontière.
"La plus petite des grandes capitales" a une vie artistique et culturelle particulièrement riche. Des concerts, des spectacles de tout genre et des expositions s'y succèdent tout au long de l'année. Genève est fière de ses trois conservatoires de musique et de son opéra où se produisent les plus grands artistes lyriques du monde. Ses quelque trente musées abritent des collections prestigieuses, témoins de la créativité et du rayonnement culturel de la ville. Genève est une ville merveilleuse, pleine de surprises.
La visite de sa Vieille Ville aux rues et aux bâtisses chargées d'histoire est une expérience très enrichissante.
Je vous invite à manger une glace au bord du lac en admirant le jet d'eau, la douceur de l'eau du lac, les jolis cygnes...et là bas au loin, la grande chaine de montagnes du Mont-blanc !
Greetings.

I always have troubles with greeting people when I go to a new country and I've more than once gotten in to a situation where I've been unsure and making a fool of myself . Anyway, in Switzerland you greet by leaning forward and kiss the person once on the left cheek (right from your side), once on the right and then once again on the left. But the Swiss people are kind of liberal so I don't really think that someone would be offended if you chake hands instead.
Nothing is hard to find here..

September-April: Warm clothes, jacket, umbrella, etc.
May-August: Light summer clothes, a cardigan just in case.
Take comfy shoes for walking around.
The Swiss dress well, so if you're a fashion buff, take a couple of smart clothes along. Pharmacie's won't issue some type of medical supplies unless you have a perscription. So bring your doctor's perscription along if you think you might run down on them. Geneva is a city, and almost everything is available- you won't have a problem finding anything you need.
Mountain lovers visiting Geneva

If you are in Geneva and hankering to see mountains, you can get a pretty good vantage point on one of the local boat trips (CHF3.00 to cross from one bank to the other). You can see the Saleve in the south, and on a good day you can see Mont Blanc. To the north you can see the Jura stretching from west to east.
If you have a spare day and are itching to get into the mountains, you could do a train trip to Nyon (15 mins) or even Lausanne (60 mins). You get some great views of the lake with mountains behind. Also you can see the Swiss villages on the Jura from the train. There are a few things to see at Lausanne as well, and beyond there several trains head up in to the Alps. You could go to Gruyere, Chateau d'Oex or even Zermatt if it's a clear day and you want to see the Matterhorn. Zermatt/Matterhorn is a long day, but the other two are do-able as day trips, if you are really fond of mountains.
