Overview
Take a trip to Geneva on your Switzerland Vacation
Geneva is the second-largest city in Switzerland, nestled within the country’s French-speaking region. It is a dynamic hub revered globally for its financial prowess and diplomatic prominence at the intersection of the Rhone River and the expansive Lake Geneva. Geneva is not merely a geographical nexus but a centre for international diplomacy, as the European headquarters for the United Nations and housing vital entities like the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
Embrace the unique opportunity to delve into the heart of global humanitarian efforts, immersing yourself in the city's vibrant cultural history. Watch as the city unfolds with 82 buildings and landmarks gracing its landscape, each recognized as a Swiss heritage site of national significance and telling Geneva's storied past in their own ways. The iconic Jet d’Eau stands tall among them as one of the world's largest fountains, positioned at the point where Lake Geneva converges with the Rhone River. The fountain's grandeur will captivate you throughout the city, illuminated magnificently in the night sky and symbolizing Geneva's role as a beacon of diplomacy. Be sure to venture into the city's culinary realm and indulge in Geneva's diverse culinary scene, reflecting the internationality of its residents. Embark on a delicious gastronomic journey, ranging from traditional Swiss delights to global flavours, including Swiss chocolates from the renowned Auer Chocolatier, savoury cheese fondues at the historic Café du Soleil, and international culinary fusions at the Michelin-starred restaurant, Rasoi by Vineet.
