Geneva Travel Guide
Multicultural City sits right on the southern tip of Lake Geneva, below the French Alps. The Jet d’Eau fountain and Floral Clock huddle on the left bank, while just to the south the Old Town’s cobbled streets twist up to hilltop St Peter’s Cathedral. On the right bank, lakefront gardens lead to the UN headquarters. An astonishing 40% of the city’s population are foreigners, as Geneva is the world’s diplomatic and banking centre.
