Want to know some of the standout things to do in Geneva? Then have a look through our handpicked suggestions below...
1. Take a Tour around the Old Town
Slowly stroll the streets of the Old Town and browse through the bric-a-brac stalls. Highlights include the 14th century Maison Tavel and the Cathédral St-Pierre, as well as a number of art galleries.
2.Spend the Day at the Bains de Paquais
Well, perhaps not the whole day, but this trendy pier on Lake Geneva is a top spot to relax, take a dip, have a bite or, if you’re feeling particularly rich, splash some cash getting pampered in its spectacular spa.
3.Get Festive at the Fêtes de Genève
Parades, fireworks and musical performances by top artists mean the summer gets hotter with the annual arrival of the Fêtes in August.
4. Explore the Botanical Gardens
The Geneva Botanical Gardens are just plain beautiful. With one of the world’s largest botanical centers and a scent-and-touch garden for the blind, they’re guaranteed to have something for everybody.
5. Bag a Bargain
The stores of Rue de la Confederation are stacked with Swiss quality, albeit often at a price. Bargain hunters should stalk the market stalls of Plaine de Plainpalais on Wednesdays and Saturdays instead.
