Home to Europe's largest Alpine lake, Geneva is the third largest city in Switzerland. It is dubbed as the ‘City of Peace,’ with the presence of the UN headquarters. A traveller’s guide to Geneva is packed with a lot of activities and interesting things to do. At the very start, the stunning Lake Geneva defines the beauty of the city, and the lifestyle for its people. Geneva is complete with its own pristine lake, majestic mountains, lovely promenades, and charming old town. With more than two hundred government and non-governmental organisations having their offices in Geneva, it is also considered the ‘smallest of the big cities.’ At any given time, Geneva’s hotels are packed with international businessmen and diplomats who keep the pulse of the city alive. Here you can find people on streets speaking all kinds of languages. The cosmopolitan vibe comes with a price; it is considered one of the most expensive cities to live in. Besides being the worldwide centre of diplomacy, Geneva is home to the finest watch-making in the world. The luxury industry thrives on this continuing tradition. Whether it is a break from the business travel or taking holidays, Geneva’s charm attracts and satisfies everyone.
