For enthusiasts of tranquil strolls, Geneva offers refreshing moments amid beautiful natural landscapes during a two-hour walk along the lake shores. Starting from Palexpo, take the bus to the station and cross Mont Blanc Street to enjoy breathtaking views along the water’s edge, including the famous water fountain and Mont Blanc mountains. Extend your journey for a stroll in Parc de la Perle du Lac, adorned with blooming flowers year-round. To enhance the experience, you can also travel aboard La Mouette, Geneva’s famous boat, departing from Parc de la Perle du Lac towards Port Noir. Use the bus ticket or the Geneva transport card for a unique perspective as the boat navigates the lake, providing stunning views of Lake Geneva and the historic city center’s cathedral. Upon reaching the opposite shore, wander through the English Garden, stopping at the famous flower clock, and if time allows, walk to the Old Town for a hot chocolate at Place Bourg-de-Four.
For those passionate about food, two different lunch suggestions await. Les Bains des Pâquis offers a cool atmosphere with lake views and serves some of the best fondue in Geneva. Alternatively, Les Armures provides a historical setting in the medieval city, offering excellent fondue in a nostalgic atmosphere.
For those wishing to explore the city, a few hours are sufficient to visit some prominent landmarks in Geneva. Travelers can choose between a classic or a customized bike taxi tour, providing an immersive experience with the Jet d’Eau fountain, Flower Clock, Reformation Wall, and the Palace of Nations. Another option is exploring on foot starting from the lake shores, venturing into the Old Town amid picturesque surroundings, and then visiting St. Pierre Cathedral, offering stunning views after climbing 157 steps. Visitors can stroll through the streets and relax in Place Bourg-de-Four or Reverse Café.
