   • Lake Geneva. The largest lake in Central Europe brings the drama and awe-inspiring natural splendour of the Alps to the centre of the city. Nobody could blame you for wanting to get out and experience it, and the easiest way to do that is to catch a boat from the quay at Genève-Mt-Blanc.
   • Jet d’Eau. At the city centre, where the Rhône continues on its course into France is La Rade (The Roadstead). Here, at the end of a long jetty, is a much-imitated monument known the world over.
   • St Pierre Cathedral. Geneva Cathedral is one of those religious buildings that needs as much time as you can afford. Beyond the recent Neoclassical facade things are much older, with architecture that dates to the 12th century.
   • Vielle Ville. Allow a couple of hours to satisfy your curiosity in the largest historic centre in Switzerland. The Vielle Ville twists around the hill capped by the cathedral and was once enveloped by defensive walls.

   • See Lake Geneva by Boat. The lake is unquestionably the star of Geneva's show. It is the background for many of the loveliest city views and itself has the unmatched backdrop of snow-covered Alps.
   • Jet d'Eau (Water Jet) Beside the Jetée des Eaux-Vives, the breakwater enclosing Geneva's harbor, a mighty jet of water soars straight up from the lake surface in a 145-meter plume.
   • Temple de Saint-Pierre. Dating back to 1150 as the Cathedral of Saint-Pierre, the Romanesque church at the highest point of Geneva's old town features some Gothic elements.
   • Stroll through the Jardin Anglais (English Garden) and Parc de la Grange. On the south side of the lake, known as the Rive Gauche, the Promenade du Lac runs east from the Pont du Mont-Blanc, flanked by the Jardin Anglais, where you'll see the large flower clock, almost as emblematic of the city as the Jet d'Eau.

   Like the swans that frolic on its eponymous Alpine lake (Europe's largest), Geneva (Genève) is a rare bird. Constantly perceived as the Swiss capital (it isn't), Switzerland's second-largest city is slick and cosmopolitan, and its people chatter in almost every language among streets paved by gold. Day Trips.
