Airport transfers will take you to any hotel or apartment in the city and drop you and your luggage right at the door. From here you are free to get out into the city and enjoy the culture, history and lively ambiance of this wonderful place.

Palais de Nations

Home to the UN since 1966, the Palais de Nations was the original home of the League of Nations. If you decide to visit this building you will be treated to an hour-long tour and entry to the surrounding park, in which the heat-resistant monument stands in commemoration of Russia’s conquest of Space. If you venture here on a Tuesday or Thursday morning you will have the chance to join a park tour that is full of information about the old grounds and park flora and fauna.

The CathedralThe city’s cathedral is a stunning reflection of this glorious city and, despite being built in the 11th century, its main façade is distinctly Gothic. In the 1500s, Protestant John Calvin preached here. If you happen to visit in the summer you will be rewarded with free organ concerts and a magical musical performance. Even if you are there in the winter there is plenty to see in the building, so buy a ticket for the towers and climb the steps to the fascinating attic. From here you get a real insight into the complex construction involved in the building of the cathedral. You'll also get great views of the lake, the old bell tower and the WWII observation post.

The basement of the cathedral holds a small archaeological site that displays mosaics and the tomb of an Allobroogian chieftain. Close to the cathedral is a modern museum housed in a 200year-old mansion. Focusing on Reformation and boasting modern art exhibits that bring the city's history to life, this place is definitely worth a visit. Purchase a combined ticket for the cathedral, museum and archaeological site and make a great saving.

Old Town

Before returning for your flight home on your pre-booked Geneva airport transfers, make sure you take some time to explore the Old Town. Grand-Rue boasts the house in which the philosopher Rousseau was born, and the old town also has some great restaurants and bars. If you enjoy soaking up some local atmosphere this is the place to go.
