Geneva is Switzerland's second-largest city, but surely the most international: a third of the population is from elsewhere. The city is crowded with museums, has many excellent cultural events, even more good restaurants, and is ideally placed for quick hops to the Swiss and French Alps.
Basking in the sunshine of its peaceful setting on Lake Geneva's banks, this acclaimed neutral territory displays an obvious self-confidence. It is in pristine condition, clean, efficient and safe, yet spirited in its style and love of adventure.
Geneva is tucked away in the southwestern corner of the almost-French Swiss Alps. Its city centre hugs the shore of Lake Geneva and is split down the middle by the westward-flowing Rhône River. The main train station is conveniently located in the centre of town on the northern side of the river, as are most of the international organisations.
Geneva's most visible landmark (in summer, that is), the Jet d'Eau giant fountain, is on the southern shore. The south bank is also home to most of the city's museums and the vieille ville, the old part of town, with the pedestrian-only Grand-Rue running through it. To the east of the Old Town is Gare des Eaux-Vives, where you can catch trains running southeast into France. |
