4 Of The Best Attractions Of Geneva

Geneva is a city of many attractions, and when organising your Geneva airport transfers you should try and factor in a bit of time to see some of these, even if you are only there for a day or even an afternoon. But if you do only have a short time in the city, which are the attractions that you should make the effort to see? Here are a few suggestions of some of the best attractions to visit in the city.

1. Lake Geneva

Geneva has a stunning location right next to the spectacular Lake Geneva. There are far too many things to see and do on and around the lake to get around to doing all of them, but some of the most important include: the Jet d’Eau which is the tallest water fountain in the world at 140 metres high; the Flower Clock in the English Garden with a dial made from thousands of flowers; and the Bains des Pâquis with its bathing areas and saunas. However, perhaps the best way to enjoy the lake is to take a boat tour around it, which can easily be arranged upon arrival. Or you could even simply stroll along its banks some time between your Geneva airport transfers.

2. St Peter’s Cathedral

This impressive architectural delight is one of the highlights of Geneva and worth a visit for anyone interested in the history of architecture in general. It dates back to 1160, and now contains an archaeological museum which houses objects found through excavations of the cathedral. Don’t miss a trip to the top where you will be greeted with some splendid views over the city. It’s a perfect way to spend some spare time between your Geneva airport transfers.

3. Mount Saleve

If it’s views you’re after then you can’t do much better than a trip to Mount Salève. Only a few miles from the city, it’s easy to reach and you’ll be able to take a cable car to the 1,380 metre peak, where you will be treated to spectacular views of the city and the Alps. There’s even a café at the top to enjoy some refreshment whilst taking in the scenery.

4. Plainpalais Cemetery

This cemetery is located right in the heart of Geneva, and it is here that you will find the tombs of some of the most famous people from the city’s history. With gravestones dating right back as far as the 15th century, it makes for an interesting detour between your Geneva airport transfers.
