Meyrin

by aliante1981

I know Meyrin does not sound like an exciting touristic destination, but let me argue my case first, OK? A small commune, Meyrin is totally overshadowed by its much bigger neighbour – Geneva. Worth a day in any case. First, because this is the site of CERN, or European laboratory for nuclear research. Now, I could go there any moment, for my parents are doing an experiment there, hence I had a pass. But anyone can visit CERN on weekend with an excursion. Why should you do so? Well, how about this:If there was no CERN, there’d be no VirtualTourist. Now, I know this is quite a statement. But it’s true, for CERN is the place where Internet as we know it today was born – there’s even the first server still preserved.After you visit CERN, you can go to Jardin Alpin, a small but delightful garden/mini zoo in Meyrin. Or to the local swimming pool with a nice water ride. You can devout the rest...

A Visit to GENEVA is Really a Must

by aliante1981

Geneva is the most exciting destination you can find in the Canton of Geneva – one of the tiniest (if not the tiniest) Cantons in Switzerland.A truly international destination, I loved it on my first trip. St. Pierre Cathedral, Jet d’Eau (or quite simply the highest Water Jet in the world), and several of the museums have the potential to simply astound one. Fireworks’ shows, car show, tennis open championship, as well as several other events really make Geneva a top destination in any time of the year. There’re excellent shopping opportunities whatever you’re looking for – clothing, chocolate, watches, financial services and just about anything else.My Geneva Highlights:- St. Pierre Cathedral- Water Jet- Watch Museum- Baur Collections- Old Arsenal- Maison Tavel- Reformation Wall- Fireworks’ shows- ShoppingFor more info, you can check out my Geneva page! Thanks!
