Visiting Geneva
If you have 2 Days
1st Day
Spend your first morning exploring the downtown waterfront, with its
boats, swans, 15-foot-wide flowered clock face, and feathery Jet
d'Eau. Then window-shop your way along the Rues-Basses and up into
the Vieille Ville. Have lunch on place du Bourg-de-Four, and
investigate the Espace St-Pierre, an umbrella term for the starkly
beautiful Cathédrale St-Pierre, the cavelike archaeological ruins
underneath it, and the Musée International de la Réforme.
2nd Day
Don't forget the contemplative Auditoire de Calvin; the Monument de
la Réformation sums it all up. The next day head for the
International Area. Spend the morning at the Palais des Nations and
the Musée International de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge,
have lunch at the Château de Penthes, spend the afternoon wandering
the Jardin Botanique, and find yourself some filets de perches
(perch fillets) for dinner.
If You Have 4
Days
3rd Day
On your third morning, head back to the Vieille Ville and the Maison
Tavel, Espace Rousseau, Musée Barbier-Mueller, and/or Musée Rath.
Then take a break from museum fare, and spend the afternoon
swimming, sailing, paddle-boating, or, in winter, riding the waves
of Lac Léman on a Compagnie Générale de Navigation (CGN) paddle
steamer. Follow this up with a concert, indoors or out.
4th Day
Start Day 4 with a morning walk through the Right Bank waterfront
parks and the Musée d'Histoire des Sciences. Have lunch at La Perle
du Lac (outdoors in summer). Then take the Mouettes Genevoises ferry
across the lake to Port Noir, and climb the rampe de Cologny to the
stellar Fondation Martin Bodmer. Watch the sun set over the city
from the Auberge du Lion d'Or or the bottom of the hill, and then
take in a film at Cinélac (July-August) or wander home along the
quays.
If You Have 6 Days
5th and 6th Days
Two additional days will allow you to complete the tour of Geneva's
museums and explore outside the city center. Start Day 5 with the
Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, have lunch in Carouge, and head back into
town for a look at the watchmaking treasures in the Patek Philippe
Museum. On your last day, weather permitting, head for the ski
slopes or rent a bicycle and ride out past Cologny; in about 15-20
minutes you'll be surrounded by vineyards and sweeping vistas.
