Gracefully poised between the Alps and Jura mountains, Geneva radiates Swiss charm right from the southern tip of Lake Geneva (Lac Léman). Guided by seasons, the city basks in warm summers perfect for lakeside fun, while its crisp winter climate transforms nearby mountains into a snow-sports paradise.

Geneva’s global distinction comes from its key role as an international diplomatic hub. It proudly hosts numerous international entities, including the UN and CERN. Amid its contemporary global identity, it keeps its historic allure through the cobblestoned streets of the Old Town (Vieille Ville) that meander past age-old architectural marvels and secret courtyards.

Geneva's real charm lies in its perfect fusion of nature and cultured urban life. The city's most identifiable landmark, the Jet d'Eau, fires water 140 meters skyward. Thanks to its geographical location, you can enjoy a morning dip in Lake Geneva, and by afternoon, be off on an Alpine hiking adventure.

Geneva's gastronomical scene promises to excite food lovers, offering classic Swiss dishes like fondue and raclette and a range of innovative international cuisine. Savor the traditional Genevan sausage, Longeole, and indulge in the city's renowned chocolate shops, where masterful craftsmanship marries Swiss chocolate-making tradition.

Visit CERN's particle physics lab and the International Red Cross Museum, or take a leisurely boat cruise on Lake Geneva. Do also take time to appreciate Geneva's watch-making lineage through various workshops and boutiques on Rue du Rhône's.
