   • Lake Geneva. The largest lake in Central Europe brings the drama and awe-inspiring natural splendour of the Alps to the centre of the city. Nobody could blame you for wanting to get out and experience it, and the easiest way to do that is to catch a boat from the quay at Genève-Mt-Blanc.
   • Jet d’Eau. At the city centre, where the Rhône continues on its course into France is La Rade (The Roadstead). Here, at the end of a long jetty, is a much-imitated monument known the world over.
   • St Pierre Cathedral. Geneva Cathedral is one of those religious buildings that needs as much time as you can afford. Beyond the recent Neoclassical facade things are much older, with architecture that dates to the 12th century.
   • Vielle Ville. Allow a couple of hours to satisfy your curiosity in the largest historic centre in Switzerland. The Vielle Ville twists around the hill capped by the cathedral and was once enveloped by defensive walls.

   • Geneva, birthplace of watchmaking. It was in the 16th century that the first names of Swiss watchmakers emerged and Geneva became the birthplace of watchmaking.
   • The Reformation Wall. A compulsory stop at the heart of history! In the middle of the Parc des Bastions can be found the great actors of the Reformation, Jean Calvin, Guillaume Farel, Théodore de Bèze and John Knox, who await you in the form of giant statues and bas-reliefs.
   • The Old Town. A small historical jewel with medieval charm! The largest historic city in Switzerland, the Old Town is dominated by St. Peter's Cathedral, the centre of the Reformation.
