Geneva is one of the most beautiful European cities and there are more than 200 headquarters of international organizations. Known as the city of banks and watches, it is on the shores of Lake Geneva and there you can find many beautiful monuments and places of great interest. In the month of December , the Climbing Festival is celebrated, the most important in the city and which commemorates the defeat of the Duke of Savoy when he tried to take over the city, all its inhabitants taking to the streets in period clothes.

To the left of the lake you find the Cathedral of Saint Peter and the Bourg-de-Four square , located in the old town and where you can wander around and see other places such as the Museum of Art and History, the Tavel House or the beautiful Promenade des Bastions park . All that part that is to the left of the lake is the most touristy and where the points of interest are, and in the part that is to the right almost everything is hotels and restaurants.

You can do several cruises on Lake Leman , be it one hour, a whole day, night or gastronomic, for me the most recommended since you can enjoy a wonderful dinner sailing on the lake and with the whole city in sight. You can choose tickets in first class or tourist and they make discounts for groups of 10 people or more, the truth is that it is worth it because the route is beautiful.

Finally, I recommend you sit on a terrace in the Bourg-de-Four square to enjoy a little while having a drink. In addition, on Grand Rue you will not only find one of its best preserved old streets but there you will see the place where Jean Jacques Rousseau, a famous writer and musician from the early 18th century, was born.
