Geneva is a renowned global city, thanks to the Red Cross, the World Trade Organization, the World Health Organization, and the European branches of the United Nations and World Bank being headquartered here. But banking and diplomacy aside, this cosmopolitan Swiss city by the banks of Lake Geneva with iconic views of Mont Blanc, creates the perfect backdrop for global travelers of all shades. A completely different, and almost Bohemian culture, lies waiting to be discovered in local bars, art galleries, and cafés of the Les Grottes, the Quartier des Pâquis and the artsy Rhône neighborhoods of Geneva. Walk the cobbled streets of the old town, paddleboard across Lake Geneva, discover the Italian Quarter, and take a little rest on the longest bench in the world! The local coffee houses are best for sampling the delicious local brew. Dine at any of the hip restaurants in town, appreciating the regional cuisine chased by a glass of vino or two.
