What to Do in Geneva in One Day

We will give you a few suggestions about what you can visit in this beautiful city if you plan a one-day visit.

Walk Through the Old Town

A walk through the old town of Geneva is an experience in itself. Wandering the winding streets full of shops, cafes, restaurants, beautiful architecture, and squares is the ideal way to start your day in this city. The old town's cobbled streets will take you to the Place du Bourg-de-Four, a bustling center since Roman times. We recommend you enjoy breakfast in one of the local cafes and soak up the city's atmosphere.

Make sure to visit the St. Pierre Cathedral, which symbolizes Geneva's rich heritage. Climbing to the top of the tower offers a panoramic view of the city and the lake.

The Musée d'Art et d'Histoire should also be on your list. It contains collections of art depicting this city throughout the centuries. Take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to see the works of famous artists such as Rembrandt and Rodin.

Treille Promenade

The famous promenade in the old town is also worth a visit. It is renowned for having one of the most extended benches in the world, which stretches from one side of the promenade to the other and is 413 feet long (126 meters). This bench was built in 1767 and is made of 180 wooden boards. It will be the perfect place to relax and enjoy the view of the Salève and Jura mountains, surrounded by the scent of chestnut blossoms, these harbingers of spring, and good weather.

Discover Lake Geneva

With the arrival of nice, sunny weather, Lake Geneva again begins to gather picnic lovers who like to walk and relax by the water. Take some delicious Swiss cheese, chocolate, and wine with you, take a break, and enjoy the view of the lake and the stunning Alps.

If you have time, a great way to see the city is to go on a boat ride and see the surroundings and the town from a different perspective.

Walk the Chocolate Route

One of the best ways to get to know a city quickly is to go on a walking tour. However, this tour is enriched with chocolate flavors, so in addition to learning about the history and exciting things about the city, you will also be able to enjoy the wonderful chocolate flavors that Switzerland is known for.

This tour takes about three hours and stops at several top chocolate shops. It's worth taking advantage of, especially if it's your first time in Geneva.

Enjoy the English Garden

This park dates back to 1854 and was the first English-style park in Geneva. It also contains the National Monument commemorating Geneva's integration into the Swiss Confederation.

Treat yourself to an idyllic walk, and don't miss seeing the famous flower clock. This interesting clock is comprised of about 6,500 carefully combined flowers, and its design changes according to the seasons. It was created in 1955 to symbolize Swiss watchmakers, flower lovers, and gardeners.
