Geneva Switzerland

    Bienvenue à Genève! Located on the charming shores of Lake Geneva at the foot of the majestic Swiss Alps, Geneva is one of the most fascinating cities in Europe. Headquarters of the United Nations, Geneva, has behind it a history of tolerance and individualism that begins with the Protestant Reformation of the Church.
Today, although Italy is famous mainly for the annual auto salon ( "Geneva Motor Show"), the city is hub of culture and entertainment, and of course the finest restaurants and trendy.

Geneva Tourism
The "Jet d'eau" is the most famous monument of the city and also the highest fountain in the world. The old town of Geneva is literally a walk in the rich past of the city, cheered by the presence of over thirty galleries and museums, among which include the Museo d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea (MAMCO) and the Museo Internazionale della Croce Rossa.
For lovers of relaxation suggest a cruise on the lake or a stroll in the parks, green oasis around its shores.

Certainly should not miss a visit to the famous "street market": the classic Swiss watch as a souvenir or a thousand other windows to be discovered, Geneva provides opportunities for all, as well as hotels and the renowned service located near the main attractions of the city.
