Geneva

Our Geneva city breaks take in this beautiful, cosmopolitan city in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, framed by the Alps and situated at Europe's largest lake, Lake Geneva. Geneva has Switzerland's second-largest population and is recognised as being one of the world's most important cities for regular meetings of international committees, although Geneva is much more than this.

The city is not only the world capital of watchmaking but also a place of wonderful lakeside parks, world-class cultural events and exhibitions as well as gastronomic delights. It is home to more than 200 international organisations and is widely recognised as the City of Peace. As an open-minded city, Geneva makes its guests soon feel at home.
