亮點

Pride and love, gluttony and moderation, justice and anger, envy and courage go hand in hand in Geneva. In this tour you will not only manage to see all the main sights of this city, but also look at them from a different angle — from the perspective of human vices and virtues. The monument in honour of Empress Elisabeth ”Sissi”, who was stabbed to death, is located not far from the “doing a good deed” Jet d'Eau fountain. The monument to Jean-Jacques Rousseau reminds visitors of a man who promoted ideas of social equality, but at the same time confessed to affairs with married women and masochism. The building known to serve as a shelter to orphans and bread for the poor in the Middle Ages was also used to lock up beggars and the insane, but the theologians depicted on the Reformation Wall were later taunted with inflexibility, mercilessness and heartlessness. We will guide you through the key places of Geneva and tell the true story of the real people and their sins and virtues.

About Geneva

Geneva is a lakeside city in French-speaking Switzerland, home to the Jet d'Eau, a hilltop Old Town, many international bodies and views of Mont Blanc.

Geneva lies at the western end of Lake Geneva, where the Rhône flows out toward France, with the Jura and the Alps on either side. The Jet d'Eau, a fountain that shoots water 140 metres into the air, marks the harbour. The Old Town climbs a hill to the Gothic Saint-Pierre Cathedral, where John Calvin preached, and the Reformation Wall in the Parc des Bastions shows its leaders in carved stone.

Top-ranked sights in Geneva: Geneva Water Fountains (Jet d’Eau), Lake Geneva (Lac Léman), St. Peter's Cathedral (Cathédrale St-Pierre).
