47 Reviews Photos: 1. The Jet d'eau in Geneva harbor. 2. During the European football (soccer) championships in the summer of 2008 a huge ball was suspended above the fountain and kept up in the air by the force of the water. 3. Most people in Switzerland really enjoyed having the football championships in...
25 Reviews A symbol of the renowned Swiss clock and watch industry, l'Horloge Fleurie (Flower Clock) has been telling time in Geneva since 1955. Originally, it was a classic one circle floral clock, but since 2002, when it received a facelift, it has been made up of eight floral circles whose colours change...
14 Reviews If you are staying in any hotel in Geneva, you should have received a card providing free public transport... ...that includes the Mouettes lines, four different 'boat lines' allowing to easily cross the lake. And even if you don't have that card, this is still a pretty good deal, a cruise for the...
16 Reviews The old quarter of the city is very worth the visit. Beautiful buildings, narrow streets, impressive wooden made doors and windows, that´s what catched my eyes firstly. I didn´t learn too much about the cities history, but one famous person to mention is Jean Calvin, who made Geneve to a...
34 Reviews Located underneath the Cathedral of Geneva, the Saint-Pierre archaeological site was excavated over a couple of decades ending in 2006. The excavations revealed the foundations of buildings dating from as far back as the 3rd century BC to the ruins of the paleo-christian churches that preceded the...
21 Reviews Geneve lives around the lake, and its beauty is enhanced with gardens and parks all around. Travelling with kids, we had to skip the centre of town, but they appreciated the freedom by the water and the great views.
19 Reviews The UN was built as the League of Nations, and the conducted tour pointed out both the architecture and the art, many of which had either political significance or an interesting donor. The most interesting was the room with two doors so representatives of arguing nations didn't have to have one...
11 Reviews Geneva's big festival had just wrapped up the night before so the entire area along the quays and inside the Jardin Anglais (English garden) was littered with festival tents and electrical wiring which made the area rather unattractive. I'm sure when all of that is gone that the lakeside area and...
15 Reviews As with most parks in cities, they are often slightly remote from the hub of tourist activity. Par de la Grange is on the south shore of the lake a short walk from Jet d'Eau. The park was relaxing and as with other such places, there are a range of amenities - paths, children's play areas, a...

4 Reviews A chain of restaurants local to Geneva. The restaurants speciality is chicken. A very limited menu (it consists solely of 1/2 chicken, pork, a curry, and a couple of salads) but the food is great. Especially considering the cost. I would recommend the 1/2 chicken, which comes with potato wedges and...
2 Reviews Founded in 1930, Café de Paris was the first to offer the concept of an entrecôte restaurant, only steak with sauce and salad! The recipe of the delicious sauce has been kept a secret to this day, but the success of the restaurant prompted others to copy the concept and offer their own version of...
5 Reviews We started the night very late...midnight to be precise...thinking that we would only get to enjoy about an hour or two of our last night. We went to La Clemence in the old town. A small bar with a huge terrace and good beer. Pints were less than 5 euro...7 francs to be exact and the fun was good....
2 Reviews After having had a drink at the Baroque bar (or dinner at the Baroque restaurant), take the stairs down to the B. Even if it is arguably not the most hip and trendy club in Geneva anymore, it's still crowded every night from thursday to saturday. While less elegant than before the set keeps a...
8 Reviews On arrival at Geneva airport, the simplest way to get to the city centre is use the train. It seems that every train from the airprot, travels for 6 minutes and then arrives at Geneva Railway station. There are automnated ticket machines, and a one way ticket is reasonably cheap, and at the time of...
14 Reviews From the Bus Station (Gare Routiere) of Geneva, you can visit the beautiful French neighbor cities, such as Annecy, Chamonix, Megeve, Flaine, St. Gervais, Les Contamines. With the exception of Annecy (Lake and old city), others are popular ski cities in the French Alps. In the summer these cities...
18 Reviews Geneva is well-linked by direct rail routes to a number of major European cities. There are high-speed trains to, for example, Milan, Paris, Lyon, and Barcelona. With one change of trains, it's possible to get to all major cities across the continent. Indeed, on my InterRail trip around Europe...
2 Reviews The Manor is a very large department store. They have everything you're looking for, including groceries. You can buy Swiss chocolate here on the ground floor, as well as Swiss souvenirs on the first floor. A trip to Geneva is not complete until you've bought some Swiss chocolate. Prices of...
4 Reviews Geneva is a good place for changing your currency, provided you use one of the small currency traders and not the big banks. Zhe banks usually charge a commission of at least CHF 5, unless you have an account with them, and also have less favozrable ratesthan the currency shops (such as Change de...
5 Reviews Only 17 miles from the center of Geneve - on Lake LeMann - the most charming village and well worth the short trip. Place de la Mairie F-74140 Yvoire Phone +33 04 50 72 80 21 17 miles from the Swiss/France border. It is necessary to stop in Yvoire. It is a strengthened village. The medieval...
5 Reviews A charming village in the city... Relax by strolling through this nice little city and animated streets with plenty of good addresses to eat, to drink and to dance. Some of my favourite addresses in Carouge: - Restaurant au Vieux Carouge (27 rue Jacques-Dalphin) for their famous and delicious...
