Geneva – more than just a lake

Nestled between the Alps and Lake Geneva lies this amazing city. Book a flight to Geneva and discover everything this friendly city in the middle of nature has to offer. Geneva is a great base for a city trip combined with outdoor activities. Whether you want to go hiking, mountain biking or skiing in winter, you can do it all. Afterwards, the Swiss cheese fondue will taste even better.

Colourful flea markets and picturesque cobbled streets

Most of the shops in Geneva are on the chic Rue de Rhône and Rue de la Confédération. In the old city centre, you can rummage around antiques shops, feast in authentic bistros and enjoy art galleries. The popular districts of Grottes Saint-Gervais and Pâquis Sécheron are certainly worth a visit. The same can be said for the colourful flea market that is held on Wednesdays and Saturdays on the Plaine de Plainpalais. Geneva is not only the ideal destination for weekend holidays, it’s also the perfect starting point for a longer vacation in Switzerland. Treat yourself: book a flight to Geneva now!

Nature and culture

Jardin Anglais, an English-style garden, is a great place to go for a walk. According to locals, it’s the liveliest park in the city. If you visit Geneva in summer and the weather’s hot, the baths at Bains des Pâquis are a wonderful place for a swim. If you would like to take in more culture, visit St. Pierre Cathedral or the fairytale Château de Chillon on the outskirts of the city. By the way, did you know that Geneva has over 30 museums?

Curated for you

NATURE

The world’s most compact city wraps around the south-western tip of Lake Geneva. With the eye-catching Jet d'Eau (Fountain of Geneva) in the middle, the lake fascinates and entices. Stroll along the quay past the marinas, the English Garden and neoclassic hotel façades, or sail across the lake, taking in views of the Mont Blanc, vineyards and castles.

ARTS & CULTURE

Happily situated in a park overlooking Lake Geneva and bordering both Switzerland and France you can find the Palais des Nations — symbol of the shared heritage of the international community. As a visitor, you can stroll through the lavishly decorated conference rooms where legendary agreements have been signed and milestones have been achieved in human rights, world health and peace.
