Solo travel experience
Geneva was great. To be fair the best part was when I went to a small city called Vevey and from there took a funicular to Mont Pèlerin, the view was amazing (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 huge so I literally spent hours there. The Geneva Lake was also amazing.
Things to do: - Take a mouette (public transport boats) or lake cruise - Stroll through the Old Town - Climb the Cathedral - Swim in the lake - Run under the Jet d’Eau - Venture to the Jonction Safety: Felt safe when I was there. Recommendations: Geneva is beautiful and fun, especially for a short period of time like two days.
Things to do: - Visit museum of Art & History - Have a drink at Place du Bourg-de-Four - Explore the old town - Explore Carouge - Visit the opera house - Enjoy the beautiful lakeside Safety: Geneva is very safe, female friendly. Recommendations: Geneva is a nice city to spend a few hours, but not days. Perfect for a short trip.
Things to do: - The Geneva Water Fountain - St Pierre Cathedral - Palais des Nations - International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent - Musée d'Art et d'Histoire - Bains des Pâquis - MAMCO Genève - Patek Philippe Museum - Musée Ariana Safety: Felt very safe. Recommendations: Geneva is very expensive to stay in, especially for food and drink.
Solo travel experience
I have visited Geneva last year. My hotel gave me a card that was a free local bus and tram pass. Was so fun to hop on and off and sight see and walk everywhere. I’d jump on and go where ever it went. Visiting United Nations for a photo op was fun. I loved walking around the old town of Carouge. Across the River. More local and less businessy/banking. Great little restaurant in the oddest location called Chez Maman. Great people classic food. Loved Swiss wine.
