Lake Geneva is the focus of the city and is surrounded by a bustling shoreline, with a number of beautiful parks. The towering Jet d-Eau fountain shooting water nearly 400 feet high over the lake.
Geneva boasts significant historical interest in the Old Town, with a web of interesting alleyways and the 850-year-old St Peter's Cathedral dominating the city.
There are museums and galleries aplenty, with the International Red Cross Museum being well worthy of exploration, as is the grand United Nations building (Palais des Nations).
