Personalized Geneva Walking Tour
Geneva is full of stunning architecture and history. Explore the beautiful Old Town on this walking tour through a maze of narrow streets. Start with some panoramic views of Lake Geneva from Pont du Mont Blanc bridge. Just across the bridge is Jardin Anglais, with its famous Flower Clock, with a face created by landscaping 6,500 flowering plants and shrubs; it also keeps perfect time. Further along, on the hill, you can see the old church of Temple de la Madeleine with its stunning stained-glass panes. Just beyond it is the grand St. Pierre Cathedral, built in the late 12th century and modified over time, a symbol of the Christian Reformation. Then visit the Reformation Wall, built between 1909 and 1917 along a 16th-century rampart, with the statues of four Genevese reformers at its center. Lastly, walk along the pier and admire the famous Jet d’Eau fountain that throws water 138 meters into the air above the lake.
