In a country of spectacular natural beauty, Geneva is one of Switzerland’s most beautiful cities.

Set on the banks of Lake Geneva between the Alps and the Jura mountains in the Southwest corner of Switzerland, Geneva enjoys a temperate climate and breath taking scenery, with Alpine lakes, snow-capped mountains, lush forests and enchanting countryside.

Geneva enjoys a worldwide reputation as a conference city; it embodies the creativity of science and technology, a vigorous business sector, and has a special cultural appeal with unmistakable flair and charm. Geneva is an ideal destination with its central location in Europe, served by an excellent transport and communication infrastructure.

Draped around the deep blue waters of Lake Geneva, Geneva has grown wealthy   and influential as the cultural and economic focus of French-speaking Switzerland.

As host city of many international organisations, Geneva has a long tradition of humanism and communication as well as an established reputation as a centre for arts and culture.

The city has over 30 museums, as well as many art galleries, theatres and an opera house. Fashionable hotels, chic restaurants and elegant shops jostle for position along the flower-decked lake front that encircles the famous “Jet d’Eau” Fountain.

The fountain shoots 500 litres of water per second to a height of 140 meters above the Lake Geneva. The “Jet d’Eau” has come to symbolise Geneva around the world and traditionally signals the coming of spring each year.

Located in the centre of Europe, Geneva is easily accessible by air and train from all major European cities, and there are interesting low-budget connections from several of them. The Geneva's international airport is only 15 minutes from downtown.
