Where to stay in Geneva:
The hotel was a very good choice because it was conveniently located close to both the airport and the city centre. The hotel also provided me with a public transport card, which was very useful and allowed me to easily travel around the city. Overal...

Restaurants/Cafes in Geneva:
After a long walk around Geneva, getting a smash burger from STACK’EM felt like the perfect little reward. I was tired and hungry. Definitely one of those meals I still remember from the trip.
STACK'EM - SMASH BURGER
Café Calico has really good lattes and iced tea! There’s plenty of seating outside. The baristas were also really friendly and welcoming, which made me enjoy the place even more.

Tropical Juice was just a few steps away from our hotel, inside a big shopping mall right across the street. I actually found this place by accident while walking around, and I’m so glad I did. I grabbed a drink here and it was really good - such a n...

The United Nations Office at Geneva felt so different from the usual tourist spots. The huge buildings, flags, and international atmosphere made it a really interesting place to see and experience a different side of Geneva.

The Musée d’Art et d’Histoire was one of the places in Geneva where I completely lost track of time. There was such a mix of things to see that I kept finding another room I wanted to explore, from paintings and sculptures to historical objects and s...

The St. Pierre Cathedral is right in the heart of Geneva’s Old Town, and walking around the surrounding streets before reaching it was already part of the experience. It is one of those places where you can take your time and notice all the little ar...
Cathédrale Saint-Pierre Genève
The Terrasse Agrippa-d’Aubigné was one of those little places in Geneva that I would have easily missed if I wasn’t already exploring the Old Town. Tucked just behind St. Pierre Cathedral, it opens up into a quiet terrace with trees, stone steps, and...

I really liked Place du Bourg-de-Four. It’s a cute square in the Old Town with lots of cafés and restaurants around, and it’s just a really nice place to sit for a bit and take a break while exploring Geneva.

I found out that this place is supposed to have the longest historical bench in the world - I’m not completely sure if that’s actually true, but I had to sit there anyway. I stayed for a bit, enjoyed the view.
Place de jeux de la promenade de la Treille
L’Ancien Arsenal is a quick but really interesting stop while walking around Geneva’s Old Town. You can see the old cannons that were once used to defend the city, and I really liked the colourful mosaics on the walls behind them. It doesn’t take lon...

Fontaine de la Treille is a tiny but historic fountain. I read that there has been a fountain here since the 18th century, so it was a cute little detail to notice while walking around the area. It’s nothing huge, but I liked coming across these smal...

L’Horloge Fleurie is a beautiful flower clock right in the middle of Geneva. It is made with hundreds of fresh flowers and is so colourful and pretty in person. It’s a nice little stop to take a few photos and enjoy while walking around the lake area...

Jet d’Eau is probably one of the first things I think of when I think about Geneva. The water shoots incredibly high into the air, and it looks even better when you’re walking along the lake and see it in the distance. It’s one of those places you ha...
Jet d'Eau de Genève
Baby-Plage is a nice spot by Lake Geneva where people come to swim, relax, and spend time by the water. I didn’t go swimming myself, but there were quite a lot of people in the lake when I visited. It looked like a really nice place to cool off and e...

Parc La Grange was such a nice place to walk around in Geneva. It’s a huge park with lots of trees, flowers, and open spaces, and I really liked how peaceful it felt compared to the busier parts of the city. Definitely a nice place to add to your Gen...
