Experience Geneva: what to do, what to see

Essentials in Geneva
English Garden: From Pont du Mont Blanc you will find the English Garden a perfect place to spend the morning. The gardens were landscaped in 1854 and is home to Geneva's most photographed clock, created with 6500+ flowers.
Saint Peter's Cathedral: While the church itself was built in the 11th century, the façade is entirely 18th century in design. Climb the 157 steps up to the northern tower for a rewarding view of the city, mountains and the Jet d'Eau, the world's tallest water fountain.
Quartier des Grottes: For those heading to Geneva for shopping will enjoy the Quartier des Grottes, north of Gare Cornavin. It is a district full of small shops, boutiques as well as some interesting and quite stunning architecture. The residential buildings in this area of the city are called the "Schtroumpfs," almost totally absent of straight lines!

Accommodations in Geneva
Until recently the term "budget hotel" didn't exist in Geneva. The palatial hotels along the Right Bank ooze with wealth and boast stunning views. Hotels in Geneva though are becoming more down to earth, even offering free Wi-Fi and a lot less attitude. Geneva hotels tend to be pricier than other cities in Switzerland, especially when a convention is in town. You'll find the best service at family-run guest houses.
