Geneva
Geneva nestles like a sparkling jewel on the shores of Lake Geneva. Here everything exudes quality, elegance and a cosmopolitan lifestyle. The place is buzzing with people from all corners of the world. It has excellent restaurants, exclusive shops, beautiful parks, a vibrant cultural life and interesting museums. A practical aspect is that Geneva is geographically quite small. You can wander around the town in an hour, and it’s easy to make quick one-day excursions into the idyllic surroundings.
The City
Geneva is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, thanks to its wonderful location on Lake Geneva. The city is as small as it is large. It has fewer than 200,000 inhabitants, and is easy to get around.
At the same time, it is a very lively place because it is so international. Geneva has the European headquarters of the United Nations, and a myriad diplomatic embassies. Foreigners constitute one third of the population, so on the streets you will hear languages from all over the world.
Here you will find typical Swiss things – clocks, chocolate and cheeses, all of top quality. There are the glossy bank palaces along the lakeside, and picturesque restaurants serving piping hot fondue and raclette.
Geneva offers everything from gentle strolls around the antique shops in the Old Town, to exclusive shopping along the luxurious rue du Rhône, or thought-provoking visits to the UN or the Red Cross. It’s a place that gives you a taste for more. Read more about Geneva:
