The Rue du Marché is the centre of Geneva's main shopping area with a number of restaurants nearby. |
The Genève-Plage, a lakeside swimming pool complex, is open from June to mid-September. |
An eye-catching display of water spouts at the entrance to the UN building in Geneva. |
The green bench measuring 126m on top of La Treille park in the old town is reputed to be the longest wooden bench in the world. |
La mouette is the shuttle boat that takes you from one side of Lake Léman to the other. There is quite a frequent service.
|
There is a flea market in Plainpalais on Wednesday and Saturday. Interesting market with foodstalls there on Sundays. |
Carouge, a small suburb of Geneva that has a character all its own. |
This bus will take you to the "End of the World" (Bout-du-Monde).. |
Le Saleve (background) is where the cable car ride starts. Details. |
Les Grottes. Brings to mind the more famous La Pedrera (also known as Casa Mila) by Antoni Gaudì which all visitors to Barcelona make a point of visiting. Picture of Antoni Gaudì's Casa Mila here.

Artistic globes along Quai Wilson (not a permanent feature).

The story behind the globes display organized by Terre des Hommes Suisse. |
