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.

Geneva 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.

Family travel

The 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

City 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!

Geneva 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.

Geneva 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.

Honestly everyone is just so nice!!!! I don’t know french so i was worried when I first came here and couldn’t understand some things, but everyone was helpful and knew English well; they helped me at the grocery store, trains; even in the streets when i got lost!

Most places are okay, you can comfortably walk around without worrying about someone stealing your bag or phone. There are just a few neighbourhood I wouldn't go to alone at night, like near the train station.
