Bains des Paquis, Switzerland

This huge fountain is the landmark of Geneva. On a nice day people gather around the peer and enjoy the sun. Careful not to go too close as you will get soaking wet instantly.

Geneva is a cool town, it is situated by the lake Geneva with beautiful surroundings. Public transport is excellent, they've got all the shops and restaurants you need and the coffee's good. It's also just a couple of hours away from some of the best skiing in Europe. Works for me ;)

It's bearable for a small, boring French village, otherwise no.

"Morning coffee was nice there. Pretty ok place to get loaded in before heading off to work in CERN."

It is a great to go to with the kids. Lots of ice cream on the road nice stores and if you get close(max within 20 meters) it is refreshing.

Fort L'Ecluse is an mediaval castle that is accessible by road or via ferrata.
Nice place to combine sigthseeing and extreme sports.
Nearby small village Longeray has an excellent restaurant.

Nice park with some farm animals for the kids to enjoy. When you exit the park, take the train bridge across where the rivers Rhone and Arve are joining - has some nice views!

Take the opportunity to cross geneva lake from one side to the other for the price of the bus ticket taking the little yellow boat. It is a cheap and great trip to discover the city from the lake.

Never seen so many expensive cars in front of a hotel than here..

Be sure to leave enough time for security check, as the corridors go on and on forever before you actually get to the gate..of course depending on your destination. I seriously had to run for it a couple of times there, to catch my plane.

TIP: if you search online or walk around the city mainly dring summer you can find free bike rental!

Geneva. Excellent gourmet food and first class service by gentleman waiters.

Nice little village above the famous resorts (spas, really) of Evian and Thonon, overlooking Lac Leman. Beautiful, tranquil surroundings - yet the jetset-nightlife is just a busride away!

Nice quiet village overlooking the famous resorts of Evian and Thonon, with a fabulous view of Lac Leman. Beautiful, serene surroundings, yet close to the jetset action of the expensive spa resorts.

Nice quiet village above the famous spa resorts of Evian and Thonon, overlooking Lac Leman. Fabulous views, beautiful surroundings, yet within walking distance (more or less) from the jetset nightlife of the expensive lakeshore resorts. Affordable accomodation and eating.

Visit Geneva for the 1st of August celebration. It is the equivalent of the 4th of July and there are fantastic fireworks above the city.
