Geneva
 |
Geneva is a border city of continuous movement and change, where Swiss and French culture live next to each other, impeccably amalgamating with lots of other cultures. This makes Geneva a cosmopolitan city with an international flavour. It is therefore no surprise that the city is headquarters of a number of global institutions such as the United Nations, UNICEF and the Red Cross. The aspiration to thought and confrontation ñ often followed by a revolution ñ is well present in Geneva’s genetic code. Just think of its renowned citizen Calvin, as well as the countless and important treaties and conventions that have been signed in this city.
Events that have become world famous, such as the annual International Automobile Salon, attract thousands of tourists to this city, located on the shores of Lake Geneva, to enjoy its particular beauty.
So, apart from its modern aspects that are strongly directed towards the future, Geneva is also capable of giving its visitors a lot more: relaxing moments on the shore whilst listening to the whooshing of its famous fountain, le Jet de l’Eau; shops that sell luxury goods Made in Switzerland; a high level of cultural life with an international touch; picturesque corners and trendy squares for a hot tea or a cold drinkÖ.this and much more is awaiting you in Geneva.
