Things To Do in Geneva

Geneva is a beautiful city located down below the Alps and has been home to many famous Europeans and the center of many political events. Today it is one of the top tourist cities in Europe and has many fun places to visit and enjoy the rich Swiss culture. A visit here will have many activities to participate in and many local attractions to see both on foot and by train or boat.

Out of the many things to do in Geneva, here's a few of the must see spots that should be on your map when you check out the city.

Geneva tours come packaged with a boat cruise and are probably the best way to start your introduction to the city. The tours will usually take you to the great Geneva Fountain, a majestic bounty of water that towers over 400 feet high and is a magnificent spectacle to look at. Nearby the fountain you'll also get to see the famous floral clock of Geneva that tells the time in a rosey way. You can take a ride on the train to the old town part of Geneva. Here you can view some buildings whose foundations were laid back in the early centuries A.D. After that, take a boat ride out to the middle of Lake Geneva and enjoy the view from a distance.

If that wasn't enough, other Geneva activities are visiting Lausanne, Montreux, and Chateau de Chillon. These three places are all part of Geneva excursions into the countryside. The town of Lausanne is a beauty of old Swiss tradition and modern marvels. While you're here you may want to visit the Olympic museum or take a taste of the cuisine of the Swiss restaurants. When you leave here, the Chateau de Chillon is where you will want to head to see the castle where famous nobles and Barons lived long ago.

These are just a few of the attractions in Geneva to visit. Booking a trip here through Expedia will not disappoint you. This city is ready to welcome you!
