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

Have worked in this city for 7 years and your photos reminds me that I have not been here this summer (I was in january skiing). I like G very much.
Some great tips...we're stopping here on our trip next year, should be fun!
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.
Great page of Geneva!! A lo mejor voy a Suiza una semana en Julio.
Hey,,,you moved! How is Madrid? Que bueno para ti...MSD
Me encanta esa foto de WaterSports en el barco! esta padrisima! Greetings from USA
A pleasure to read! I'm impress...
All the best for your B'Day ... lots of everything et aussi du Champagne, Cava ... Keep in touch
