Overview

Set along the River Rhone with the majestic Alps towering in the background, Geneva commands attention. As the home of the International Red Cross and former home of the League of Nations, the city also possesses a multicultural flair. Indeed, French culture and language are still predominating aspects of Geneva today. Geneva has always exuded a chic superiority. The beautifully manicured city abounds with graceful mansions, gull-laden lakes, cosmopolitan stores, and elite restaurants. The heart of the city is called the rive gauche, which includes the charming old town area. Visitors should take time to stroll the quaint boutiques and galleries along the cobblestone Grand Rue. Also check out the Cathedrale St. Pierre, where John Calvin preached; the Reformation Monument, dedicated to leaders of the Protestant Reformation; and the Jet d'Eau, the highest fountain in Europe.
