Seamless Travel to Geneva City Centre

The international city of Geneva is well known for hosting the headquarters of many globally important organisations, such as The Red Cross and the World Health Organisation. Visitors might be forgiven for not realising that Geneva, also known as "The Peace City", with its vast international influence, both diplomatic and financial, is an ideal weekend getaway, and for those who take time to do more than scratch the surface, there is much to discover.

The Perfect Day Out in Geneva

After a delicious start to the weekend in the guise of either a Swiss or Californian Brunch at Chez la Voisine, wander down to the lake and along the Prom du Lac. You can’t miss the Jet d’Eau, which is the tall fountain marking the point at which the lake pours into the Rhone. Continuing along the Prom du Lac towards town you reach the Jardin Anglais, with the stunning ‘L’horlogue fleurie’ (the flower clock).

For an interactive introduction to the city, join the Geneva Greeters. This group of local residents offer free tailor-made tours with every client escorted by a guide who has similar interests. Guides are all really enthusiastic about where they live, so this is a great way to get an insight into real city life.

Of course, there is plenty more to do besides, and you can’t leave Geneva without indulging in a Swiss hot chocolate, marvelling at John Calvin’s Church and enjoying some local bistro food and drink at one of the best, such as Bistro de la Tour.
