Buy the 24 hour geneva ticket, Great value we used it for all three land tours,boat ride around Geneva Lake. We then went next day to cable car to Mount Saleve this is a must. Great views nice restaurant. Also gives free public transport. Geneva seems a great place to base yourself and then travel around. Its very clean and everyone is very friendly.

I lived there for 4 months. Most international city in the world! Very convenient transportation, as I tested it every day commuting to work. Try to go further north from Palais de Nations, it is the embassy area and is very beautiful and rich-looking. Also, go to Caruoge, which is in the southern part, nice atmosphere and very European streets.

We were only there overnight and would like to have stayed another couple of days to wander the old city and visit other sites properly. A beautiful relaxing place where you can do as much or as little as you like.

I visit Geneva every chance I get. It's one of my favourite Swiss cities because it's busy enough to feel like you're in a city, but small enough to wander around on a Sunday and have the place to yourself. The lake is a big attraction and walking around it in the late evening is so relaxing. The best ice cream is Mövenpick and you can enjoy a variety of flavours at the Mövenpick creamery, located right next to the water and Rolex building. Also, the most amazing vegetarian pizza can be found next door to Mövenpick at Nico & Co. If I could live in Switzerland, I'd pick the Geneva area because it has the lake, vineyards, mountain-views, excellent public transport and lots of beautiful Swiss watches. :)

We enjoyed walking along the lake, exploring the Old City, including the Museum of the Reformation, having coffee and people watching along the lake, riding the lake boats and taking in the beauty of this great city. Swiss wine is wonderful! Enjoyed a good meal at Brasserie Lipp. We took a day trip to Annecy, which was only average.

Beautiful city on a beautiful lake. Don't forget to take the lake trip to the french village of Yvoire. I am biased, I lived here many years ago, still come back every few years to breathe a sigh of relief and see the beauty and vibrancy is still here. It is also a super stepping off place to continue visiting other parts of Switzerland.
