Geneva, between art and science
Geneva is an important place for business and economy, home to many international organizations and companies.
Enjoy the autumn in Geneva...
Autumn is the ideal time to discover a different Geneva, from which the summer crowds have moved away. Gradually yellow and brown replace green in the trees, bringing a certain serenity to the city's parks.
Summer: the ideal time to discover Geneva?
Even if Geneva is beautiful in all seasons, it is during the summer that I prefer to stroll through the shady streets of the old town, to sip a drink on one of the many terraces or to cool off by taking a dip in the nearby lake.
Discover Geneva in Spring
The long winter months are drawing to a close and spring is making way. It's time to soak up the sun and get out into the fresh air. Close to nature and offering a thousand and one activities, Geneva has no shortage of assets to attract visitors.
