As an emblematic city of Switzerland, Geneva preserves many natural and cultural treasures within its parks and museums. At Parc La Grange, you will discover a hundred varieties of roses, century-old trees, or an extensive collection of rhododendrons. This park near Lake Geneva is the largest in the city, and its panoramic view will amaze you. For water activities ranging from water skiing to pedal boating and walks around the water, the ideal is Lake Geneva, one of the largest in Central Europe. If you want to gaze at the Jet d'Eau, a tourist attraction that rises 140 meters high, go to the heart of the Rade. At the Geneva Conservatory and Botanical Garden, you will be surprised by a herbarium with 6 million samples and a public library housing a wide selection of botanical works since the eighteenth century. Several guided tours are offered to discover the museum in different forms, ranging from thematic visits centered around a research project to visits about living collections presented with their care techniques. In the old town, history lovers will be won over by a wide selection of museums. Place Bourg-de-Four, the oldest in the city, is ideal for resting before visiting the Museum of Urban History and Daily Life in the Maison Tavel. It exhibits collections of engravings, paintings, everyday objects, and furniture, ranging from the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century. To overcome the city, head to St. Peter's Cathedral, which offers panoramic views of the entire city from its towers. On the way back down, stop at its archaeological site, which has traces of ancient churches dating back to the fourth century. ◄
