Geneva Geneva

As the sun’s majestic rays stream through a breathtaking plume of water, a rainbow takes shape. The tallest fountain in the world, the Jet d’Eau shoots up from the pure surface of Geneva’s beloved lake. An unrivaled monument, it is surrounded by a fabled city, which rises like a precious Swiss jewel amongst the mountains and valleys of eastern France. A picturesque cityscape where medieval streets lead to grand 18th century palaces and buildings of splendid modernity, Geneva combines a historical ambience with a technological pedigree. Home to legendary watch-making brands and international organizations such as the United Nations, this time-honored locale celebrates innovation while gracefully honoring the past.
