5 Reasons You Should Visit Geneva
Geneva has quite a conservative reputation as it is home to over 20 essential institutions, such as the Red Cross and the United Nations. However, don't let this affect your appreciation of this beautiful Swiss city. Few places can boast of Geneva's quality of life, cultural landmarks, and economic power.
The city is adorned with picturesque landscapes and beautiful architecture, which is why it was one of the favorite locations for filming movies, series, and TV shows. Whether you're a nature or history lover, if you admire breathtaking architecture and enjoy good food, Geneva should be on your travel bucket list. And these are just some of the reasons.
Amazing Nature
According to many tourists, this city is among the places with the most beautiful nature in the world. Lake Geneva offers incredible opportunities for enjoyment and adventure by boat, so make sure you see the city from this point of view and not just by cruising its streets. The Jura Mountains and the Alps offer a picture-perfect view.
One of the more popular excursions is to Mont Saleve, which is only a few bus stops from the city center. In addition to the panoramic view of the mountains you will enjoy here, you can try paragliding, mountain biking, or skiing during the winter.
Paradise for Foodies
Swiss cuisine is known for high-quality ingredients that are the product of natural abundance and the influence of different cultures that mix here. Although many world cities deserve the title of foodies’ paradise, Geneva combines national specialties with different international cuisines and dishes that leave no one indifferent.
You will remember visiting this city through many delicious dishes - fondue, raclette, rosti, swiss chocolate, and tasty cheese.
Cultural Richness and Diversity
Geneva is the right city for you if you love culture and history. There are about 35 museums covering history, archaeology, contemporary art, sports, chocolate and many more topics.
We recommend you visit the International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum, which are dedicated to the founder of the Red Cross, Henry Dunant. Patek Philippe Museum will delight watch lovers. Here, you can see well-preserved specimens from the 16th century, and in the other part of the museum, the Patek Philippe collection from 1839.
If you're a chocolate lover, don't miss out on the Favarger Chocolate Factory, which opens its doors in a guided tour. Through the stories, you will discover the history of chocolate making in this factory and see some traditional machines for producing this delicacy. And at the end of the tour, the best awaits you: a chocolate tasting.
An Ideal Destination for Sports Fans
Although surrounded by two large mountain ranges, Geneva is an excellent starting point for all snowboarding, skiing, and bobsledding enthusiasts. Water sports, from diving to boating, are also very popular, and Lake Geneva is the ideal place to try it. If you dare to head to the mountains, hiking, and mountain biking during the warmer part of the year and snow sports during the winter are a must.
Shopaholics Heaven
On Rue du Rhône, you will find the most famous luxury brands in one place. Watches, wardrobe, cosmetics, cars, everything you can imagine is waiting for you there. Also, you will find many local designers, galleries, smaller local shops, and unusual artist objects for some great gift ideas.
Many shops and art galleries await you on the old town's cobbled streets. For those who love antiques, we advise you to visit the Place du Bourg-de-Four in the center of the old town.
