Things to do in GenevaSightseeing in Geneva offers something for everyone with
historic, cultural, religious and natural attractions galore, all
within or very near to the city and best visited during the summer
months. The most obvious Geneva attraction is Lake Geneva, the largest
lake in central Europe, and its Jet d''Eau, the huge fountain that
shoots water 150 metres up into the air. Jardin Anglais is a garden
that has been frequented by scribes and philosophers for years, and
the nearby Ile Rousseau monument is dedicated to Jacques Rousseau
and the inhabitants of Geneva. Other things to see in Geneva include St Peter''s Cathedral, a
must for travellers interested in religious landmarks, and the Town
Hall (Hotel de Ville) is another impressive building. Maison Tavel
(believed to be the oldest private house in Geneva) and the 18th
century, Italian-style suburb of Carouge are historic Geneva
attractions. With so much to offer, sightseeing in Geneva is a
rewarding experience. |
