Why not enjoy a taste of la dolce vita in Geneva, with the best places and insider tips from the HOTEL BRISTOL GENÈVE...
Discover Geneva's favourite summer spot, the Bains des Pâquis, where you'll be immersed in a dream setting. The Eaux-Vives beach is a must visit: a real oasis in the heart of the city, with 400m of beach and a two-hectare park. There are plenty of pop-up terrace bars around the lake to draw you in, and our own Côté Square terrace will fill you with a sense of peace, tucked away from the noise of the city.
Go in search of nature and greenery in the city's parks, and enjoy an exhibition in the trendy Bains district.
The many theatres will satisfy your hunger for opera music and shows: escape to the Grand Théâtre de Genève, which has the largest stage in Switzerland, and discover the world famous setting that pays homage to the Queen of England, Victoria Hall.
Enjoy the many foundations, as well as the new Comédie de Genève in Eaux-Vives, the contemporary dance hall.
Be taken in by a gourmet chocolate workshop, visit the Geneva vineyards by e-tuktuk and enjoy a moment with the winemaker - not to mention a tasting, of course.
Discover the mysteries of age-old Swiss know-how and learn how to make a watch.
And for the sporty, try a paddle race or a trip down the Arve by raft, canoe or kayak.

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.
