Solo travel experience

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!

Solo travel experience

Geneva was amazing. I was there on a group trip, it’s the only international trip I’ve been on. We visited United Nations, World Health Organization, and CERN. I really enjoyed the Red Cross museum. There was an incredible statue of Frankenstein’s monster in Plainpalais.

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.
