Geneva

My husband & I visited Geneva last month & loved it. It's just such a big city with so much to do. We went to the Reformation museum & Red Cross museum, but there are also art museums, a watch museum and others. Cathedral is worth a visit- we went to a concert there which was a great experience. Also visited some sights to do with Jean Calvin the Christian reformer - such as the Reformation Wall. We visited the market in Plainpalais which was an interesting experience! It's only there on Sat & Wed mornings though. Went on a lovely cruise on Lake Geneva. Make sure you take a swimming cossie too cos at "Geneve Plage" there are outdoor pools and a ...  Read the complete review

First up, despite what the short description may say, Geneva isn't the capital of Switzerland - Bern is, an hour or two's drive northeast. But, to be fair, that doesn't make a lot of difference, especially in Switzerland - Geneva still has everything you'd want from an international city, plus lots that you wouldn't expect. Firstly, Geneva really isn't that big. Unless there's a real difference in prices in the hotels yo've been offered, don't get hung up on trying to find a hotel near the airport - buses go into town every 10 minutes, they're pretty cheap (currently it's 3SFr for a 60-minute pass) and it only takes 15 minutes to be in the centre. Once ...  Read the complete review

Well, after I have been to so many wonderful places, I think Geneva is not worth going. Firstly, there is not much thing to see there. Secondly, the cost of living is expensive. However, if you somehow do visit Geneva, there is a number of places worth going. The one that you will not miss is Lake Geneva. It's a very nice and clean lake. Go especially when the sun is setting. The reflected sunset lights makes the whole city reddish / orangish in colour. Not forgetting, Geneva has the highest water jet in the world. It's nothing spectacular but for the fact that it is the highest. The english garden is a popular place to to relax especially in the early evening. ...  Read the complete review

There is one thing you have to know abuout the Swiss before you even consider going to Geneva - they are officially the most racicst ppl in the world. If you go into a shop they will serve nationals in preference to you and you MUST have your pasport with you at all times. TO be honest there is not much to do in this city (see the flower clock, visit the UN headquaters etc.) but it is a really beautiful city and there is a good night out to be had. The lake is absoutly gorgeous and the city is the cleanest one I've ever been to.. But be warned eveything in switserland is very expensive and you will spend a lot of money just feeding yourself. Make sure you visit ...  Read the complete review

I recently spent a long weekend in Geneva and had a fantastic time. As youwould expect there was plenty of chocolate and a number of cuckoo clocks to be found and there was so much to do. Wondering around the old town of Geneva was lovely, although I was rather disappointed with some of the restoration work which had been done on some of the old buildings, it made them look brand new. But the best part was getting out in the clean fresh air, and believe me it was. I have never done so much exercise in one weekend, we hiked up a mountain and had a beautiful view over the whole of Geneva and Mont Blanc the scenery was fantastic, if your not feeling so energetic ...  Read the complete review
