Best Geneva Day Trips & Things to Do

This metropolis in French-speaking Switzerland boasts over 30 museums and art galleries. The most popular include the Red Cross Museum and the UN Building, both of which offer enlightening tours. Walking tours through old town’s cobbled streets and Gothic buildings lead to Saint Peter’s Cathedral, which began construction in 1160. The city’s position on the breathtakingly gorgeous Lake Geneva also makes it ideal for lake cruises or relaxing in waterfront parks. Don’t miss the Jet d’Eau - the world’s tallest fountain, and be sure to check out Bastions Park with its oversized chess sets and grand Reformation Wall.
