Geneva
Geneva Watches, the Rue du Rhône & Jean-Jacques Rousseau's City
Geneva's international identity rests on three pillars — the luxury watch industry, the role as a global diplomatic hub, and the intellectual tradition of Rousseau and Calvin — all concentrated in the 2km from the Rue du Rhône to the Old Town.
Geneva Old Town Walk — the Cathedral, the Bourg-de-Four & the Reformation Heritage
The Geneva Old Town contains the densest concentration of Reformation history in the world — Calvin's cathedral, the oldest house in Geneva, the Reformation Wall, and the Renaissance patrician houses within a 500m radius.
Geneva Outdoors — the Bains des Pâquis, the Rhône Parks & the City's Green Spaces
Geneva's outdoor life centres on the lake and the Rhône River — the Bains des Pâquis pier, the Parc des Eaux-Vives, and the Bois de la Bâtie park provide the most varied outdoor recreation of any Swiss city.
Geneva Culture — CERN, the MAH, the Ariana Museum & French-Swiss Cuisine
Geneva's cultural institutions range from the world's largest physics laboratory at CERN to the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire and the Ariana ceramics collection — all within the most international city in the world.
Geneva Annual Calendar — the Escalade, the Fêtes de Genève & Seasonal Guide
Geneva's annual festivals reflect the city's unique character — the Protestant Escalade replacing the Catholic Carnival, the summer Fêtes de Genève fireworks, and the world-class Montreux Jazz making the Geneva calendar one of the most culturally distinctive in Switzerland.
Geneva — the Jet d'Eau, the Old Town & Lake Geneva
Geneva (Genève in French, the second-largest city in Switzerland, population 203,000, the most international city in the world — the seat of 40 international organizations including the UN European headquarters, the WHO, the UNHCR, the WTO, and the Red Cross — the city of Calvin, of Rousseau, of the Geneva Conventions, and of the most concentrated luxury watch industry in the world)
