Things to do in Geneva:
1. Jet D’Eau / Lake Geneva – Geneva’s most prominent landmark, this tremendous fountain is located in Lake Geneva in the city’s downtown area.
2. Chamonix (Mont Blanc) – a little bit outside of Geneva, in France, spend a day at this famous ski resort town
3. Jardin Anglais – You will find this little garden by the waterfront. It was landscaped in 1854 on the site of an old lumber-handling port and merchant yard. Here you can also see Geneva’s most photographed clock, crafted from 6500 living flowers, has ticked since 1955 and boasts the world’s longest second hand (2.5m).
4. Cathedrale de St. Pierre
5. Palais des Nations – Home to the UN since 1966, the Palais des Nations was built between 1929 and 1936 to house the now-defunct League of Nations.
6. Reformation Wall
7. Place Bourg du Four – a historic town square situated in the heart of Old Geneva.
8. International Red Cross Museum – created in 1864 by the Swiss Henri Dunant and Henri Dufour, the Red Cross is an important international organization. Learn about its history as well as the many atrocities that have and continue to happen in our world.
