Geneva

Geneva combines lakeside calm with an international intensity that reflects its position at the western end of Lake Geneva, where the Rhône begins its journey toward France. The Jet d’Eau, a fountain rising from the lake, is the city’s most recognisable landmark, while the old town climbs toward St Pierre Cathedral. Geneva is also a major centre of multilateral diplomacy: the European headquarters of the United Nations occupies the Palais des Nations in the Ariana Park. French-speaking Swiss traditions, fine watchmaking and an outward-looking civic life shape its character.
