Geneva

Where the Alps meet the lake — elegance, international culture, and incredible hidden gems.

Cool Places to Go

Lake Geneva & the Jet d’Eau

The Jet d’Eau is a famous fountain in Geneva, Switzerland. It shoots water up 145 meters, which makes for some amazing photo opportunities. You can also walk along the shore of Lake Geneva and enjoy the scenery. The Jet d’Eau is a popular tourist attraction, and for good reason. It’s a truly impressive sight.

United Nations Building

The Palais des Nations is the European headquarters of the United Nations. It is located in Geneva, Switzerland, just a short walk from the main area of the city. The Palais des Nations is a cool place to visit. The building is impressive, and it is quite amazing to see all the flags of the member nations flying in one place.

The Best Food No One Knows About

Chez ma Cousine

This place is a hidden gem. It has some of the best chicken I have ever had and what makes it so good is the secret sauce that they use. The unlimited french fries top off the experience. This place is a must visit if you go to Geneva. Visit the restaurant’s website here.

Justin’s tip: Chez ma Cousine is popular with locals — go a bit before or after the lunch rush to avoid the wait. And seriously, don’t skip the sauce.

Globus

Although Globus is a department store, the first floor has one of the best crêpes I’ve ever had. Watching them melt the dark chocolate shavings onto the crêpe is a treat, and it tastes as good as it looks.
