Geneva is a city in Switzerland, and the second most popular after Zurich. Geneva is seen as a refined city, one of fine art, food and people and has a very high standard of living. The city is not the cheapest but flights and accommodation are reasonable. Geneva is popular with UK tourists that fancy a holiday in a luxurious and beautiful city. Geneva is seen as a local city because it houses a number of international organisations like the Red Cross and the United Nations. This is also the place where the Geneva Convention was signed (hence the name), to protect prisoners of war and to prosecute war criminals years after the event has taken place.
There are some interesting features to see – the Jet d’Eau is the world’s tallest water fountain – it can propel water at 124 miles per hour and needless to say, it’s a favourite which children. However when it is windy the city is closed due to the problem with water spray.
The Cathedrale de St Pierre in the old town is a central attraction. Here you can look at the stunning architecture, the churches and cathedrals. For more art why not visit the Patek Phillipe Museum? Here is a collection of work by the likes of Van Gogh, Renoir and Monet.
There are a number of beaches nearby and if you are travelling in the summer months you may want to go for a spot of sunbathing or swimming.
