Tip stay in france at the border. Annemasse is pretty close to geneva by tram and also by train. We used the tram. Restaurents and supermarkets are much cheaper. I love the botanical garden at geneva.

Genava is my Hub, as far as I'm using easyjet (whuch is the cheapest one to fly from Egypt. I used to fly to GVA since August 1999 and I stayed there for the last 7 years as a UN accredited correspondant for Al-Ahram daily news paper. I have many friends there and I used to stay in their houses before heading to my destination in Europe.
Posted: June 7, 2024Experienced: March, 2024Geneva is a wonderful city where I felt very safe. The public transportation network in Switzerland is absolutely amazing. The Christmas market is enchanting. There are plenty of stalls with traditional Swiss food as well as dishes from around the world. It's a nice place to take a walk, have a drink and eat a snack. The river and the lake are beautiful for walks, and taking a day trip is easy, both Annecy and Lausanne are great.
Posted: December 25, 2023The home of the most instrumental organisations and institutions of our time Worth a visit Must go to the UN office, visit Lake Geneva and the surroundings at Rolex office Talk to people around you you may run into an activist, a writer, a leader just down the street. A place of action and a place you need to be at
Posted: June 21, 2023City with a posh reputation, but turned out to be very "boho" and have some French charms. Nice cafes and nice to sit by the lake. Maybe slightly cheaper to drink a coffee in Geneva than in Zurich. Good city for some days!
Posted: May 12, 2023Experienced: April, 2023Geneva was amazing. I was there on a group trip, the only foreign trip I ever took. We visited the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and CERN. I really enjoyed the Red Cross Museum. In Plainpalais, there was an incredible statue of Frankenstein's monster.
Posted: April 2, 2023Geneva was wonderful. To be honest, the best part was when I went to a small town named Vevey and from there I managed to get on a cable car to Mont Pèlerin, the view was fantastic (it's 1h by train from Geneva). Geneva was good, and all the museums - d'Histoire Naturelle and Musée d'Art et d'Histoire were free and large, so I really spent hours there. Lake Geneva was also amazing.

Quite safe, haven't experienced incidents that have made me unsafe. I would avoid Grottes (drug peddlers), Paquis(red light area) and the area around the station at night if you're alone, it's a bit shady.

Geneva is one of the safest cities I’ve ever been to. I saw homeless people maybe twice for 6 months. I felt completely safe when I had to travel during the night time from the train station to my house.

Life is a mystery, an experience to be lived, an adventure not to be missed. I consider myself as a quite curious and adventurous person. Always learning.
