 TPG trap machine by Tripack
CFF/SBB Swiss railway tickets automats give change to a max of CHF 20.-
Complain to the bus company about this unfair practice.
In 2005, CHF 230'000 has been "earned" in Geneva by this way!!! (source: Le Matin newspaper 04.07.2006)
2006 Update:
From now, you ticket will disclose the overpaid amount and you could claim the refund but only in one of the 3 TGP offices (Cornavin railway station, Rive or Bachet). All machine will be upgraded to give change in 2009/10... Better late than never ;-)
Use electronic prepaid bus card (you could even get a 10% bonus when recycling the cards;-) or have the exact fare amount. Leave a Comment

In Geneva they charged us for any other sauce at Burger King, including ketchup. They ask you if you want any sauces, but they don't tell you have to pay extra. Leave a Comment

Do not buy anything from Duty Free Shops in Switzerland, as everything there is more expensive with at least 30% than in ordinary shops!!!! Leave a Comment

The Geneva Festival was created in 1947 and has become famous in the whole world and is an opportunity to amuse oneself happily and cheerfully. The Festival takes place around the lake but also within different districts in Geneva, in order to satisfy fans of funfairs, techno music, carnival, rave, popular balls, folklore, humorists, cabaret singers, classical music, fashion, gastronomy etc.
Among the highlights of the Festival are certainly the musical fireworks, a fantastic moment which enlightens the roadstead and at which the world’s most famous firework manufacturers are present. Leave a Comment

For this occasion all sweetshops sell pots made out of chocolate reminding of the heroic acting of the 'Mère Royaume' who poured the vegetable- soup over the invaders. Leave a Comment

Shops that sells swiss knife
The price varies quite a lot from shop to shop even if they all display the 'official' swiss shop logo.
The chocolate are not really that great too. Leave a Comment

Located downstream from the Rhone this liquid monument symbol of geneva hurls 500 litres of water/second 140 metres into the air - quite a drenching but really cooling on a hot summer's day.

Italian restaurant 'Au Jeu de l'Arc' ... not so bad but really far away from having a decent price for value.
