Welcome to the picturesque city of Geneva!
Geneva embodies most of the things Switzerland is famous for: breathtaking scenery, quality wines, chocolate and cheese, as well as the pinnacle of watchmaking. Plus, it’s a bit of a cultural melting pot where French, German and Italian are often spoken, and it serves as an international hub with the many world organizations that have set their main headquarters here.

Most of the things we love about Geneva have a lot to do with the possibilities you can enjoy within the city, by the scenic lakeshores and throughout the splendid countryside not far from the city centre.
For over 3 centuries, Swiss watchmakers are considered world leaders in horology. This owes to the high reputation of quality craftsmanship, and you’ll come across hundreds of watchmakers in Switzerland that go head on with their country’s own world-famous brands like Rolex, Chopard, and Cartier.

Geneva is the best city to witness Swiss’ great watchmaking industry – there are watchmaking schools, tours, and boutiques that are all about timepieces. The city’s own official seal, the Geneva Seal, is even the seal of quality for Swiss watches.
Geneva is a city of world diplomats – you can find the headquarters of the United Nations, the World Health Organisation, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, the World Trade Organization, and the International Air Transport Association, just to name a few.

It’s very likely that you’ll come across different languages and people from around the world in the city. There’s even a wide range of choices for dining, with restaurants serving cuisines from different continents, so you’ll hardly be lost in translation or be short of options in this cosmopolitan city.
Geneva serves as a great base for nature adventures. Exciting skiing opportunities in the Alpine slopes are only a few hour’s drive out of town. In the summer, the same can be said for hiking adventures, biking tours, paragliding, and all kinds of water sports on its own great body of water: Lake Geneva.

For sightseeing daytrips, you can find lush countryside about a 2-hour drive past Lake Geneva, with beautiful vineyards near Montreux and Gstaad’s small mountain villages in the scenic Bernese Oberland region.
Geneva’s reputation for luxury makes it a major European shopping destination for haute couture and high-end goods. Big names like Cartier, Rolex, and Mont Blanc call this Swiss city home. One of the best traffic-free streets in Geneva for window shopping past word-class designer boutiques is the Rue du Marche, in the heart of town.

Have a great day!
Enjoy your magical walk in Geneva!
