Let's discover the history of the UN and the symbolism behind the broken chair

A unique heritage located in the heart of international Geneva, near the Palais des Nations, to promote understanding of the history, current events and challenges of humanitarian action in Geneva, Switzerland and the world.

Just a stone's throw from the Palais Wilson, the Parc de la Perle du Lac marks the transition between the city and the Botanical Gardens. Cyclists and walkers alike escape along the paths of this green oasis. No wonder that the wife of Hans Wilsdorf, founder of Rolex watches, named this place the "Pearl of the Lake"! In summer, you can relax in the deckchairs while sipping a drink facing the Mont-Blanc. Free screenings are organized in July and August, for the pleasure of movie lovers.

First residence of the League of Nations, the Wilson Palace defends Human Rights.

This former bastion of the city is now an island of greenery and a place to relax.

A monument that celebrates a patriotic event

Tell the time with flowers. Let yourself be carried away by the Fower Power!

The Niton stones refer today to the Dyolin Stone and the Niton Stone, two rocks emerging from Lake Geneva in the Geneva harbor. Located in front of the Gustave-Ador quay, they are erratic blocks deposited by the Rhône glacier during its retreat after the last ice age.

The Jet d'eau, the star of the Rade de Genève! 140 meters high and 500 liters of water per second at 200km/h, we present you the Jet d'eau! The Jet d'eau, which has become a true icon of Geneva, has a beautiful story to tell. Did you know that the famous Jet d'eau of Geneva is almost a coincidence? Here, we'll take a little break to hydrate with a soft drink or a glass of wine (and an ice cream?)

A sumptuous setting with a view of the lake The Parc des Eaux-Vives is home to numerous century-old trees and a gourmet restaurant.

A true masterpiece! Its sublime golden domes shine on the heights of the city.

At the top, a breathtaking panorama. Underground, a unique archaeological site. Built in the 12th century, the Saint-Pierre Cathedral has undergone important transformations. Under the Reformation, it became a Protestant place of worship.

In the heart of the Old Town, a building with a difference. With its famous cannons, the Old Arsenal now houses the State Archives.

The great figures of the Reformation watch over the Parc des Bastions. 4 men, 1 wall, 1 story. In the heart of the Parc des Bastions, Jean Calvin, Guillaume Farel, Théodore de Bèze and John Knox, actors of the Reformation, await you in the form of giant statues and bas-reliefs. "Post Tenebras Lux", the motto of Geneva, is engraved in this wall. On leaving the park, the splendid Place de Neuve and its various places linked to art are to be discovered.

A bridge full of history. The Pont de l'Île bears witness to the tenacity of Geneva throughout the centuries.
