The bars, coffee shops and its terraces animate the district as well as many shops. You may also offer yourself an evening at one of the theaters or cinemas in the area. Contemporary art and alternative culture found themselves an expression place in Lancy, to the point that we sometime call it the Soho of Geneva. Student are also accustomed to this neighbourhood: many academic institutions take place on the bank of the river Arve.
If the Lancy distinguishes itself with its liveliness, this neighbourhood offers a unique natural environment. The Rhône gives the possibility to indulge into water activities such as: canoeing, kayaking, rafting… As soon as the sun rises, swimmers are always on time.
