Geneva

Located on the Western Shores of Lake Geneva, the city with the same name has some delightful secrets with a unique charm of its own. The lakefront is dominated by its towering water fountain and pleasant harbour where yachts and pleasure boats give Geneva a bustling and colourful atmosphere.

The backdrop swifts quickly upwards to the Alps where on a clear day Mount Blanc (the highest mountain in Europe) can be viewed. A narrated boat trip on the lake itself is a must. The beautiful parks and small but interesting ‘Old Town’ should be visited. For those of the adventurous nature a trip along the shore line to Lausanne or Montreaux is both worthwhile and interesting. Geneva is not as expensive as one might think, as prices are only a little more (or the same as) in the U.K. From Cuckoo clocks to Fondue, Geneva will surprise many a well-seasoned traveller.
