"Cosmopolitan Geneva" Geneva by vanessadb

Geneva Travel Guide: 980 reviews and 2,075 photos

I lived in Geneva for two years while I was a University student. Don't listen to the people who tell you that it is a boring city. Not at all. You just need to know where to go!

Besides, it is a beautiful city, definitely worth visiting: it has the Leman lake at its feet, the mountains nearby, all the international organizations and thus people from all over the world. Geneva is undoubtfully the most happening and cosmopolitan city in the French speaking part of Switzerland and should not be missed, no matter the season.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Cosmopolitan, surrounding nature, people from all over the world
  • Cons:Lots of snobs and on the expensive side

    Good tips about Geneva! I'm Spanish, so I usually have trouble with meal hours in Europe, so you tip on that will help me a lot. Thanks.

    That is why they are called personal recommendations brunched. Personal as in personal taste, recommendation because it was nice when I went. But it's never an exact science is it now?

    I tried CALM because I read your review. But I am sorry to say that its service is terrible. I went there to expect a pleasant afternoon only to leave hungry and irritated. I will never go back there. Snobby waiters, poor service, bad restaurant.
