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!
