If you're looking for things to do in Geneva, remember that you can do more than just shop for chocolate and watches there. Don't miss St Pierre Cathedral and the archeological remains beneath it, which reveal the city's rich history and provide a glimpse into the origins of Christianity in this part of Europe. If you need some fresh air, head to Jardin Anglais, an urban green space filled with iconic monuments. Those looking to step out of town can visit Chillon Castle, where a view of Lake Geneva comes with a chance to take a step back in time and see one of the city's most visited historic monuments.

Where to stay in Geneva

Lake Geneva ©
In the elegant city of Geneva, a little shuteye doesn't come cheap. A number of relatively expensive hotels surround the lakefront, a prime location for visitors here; note that these tend to fill up for conferences and trade shows, so plan accordingly. More budget-minded travelers can look into options closer to the airport, which is a quick 15-minute ride on public transport into the city. While there a very few family-owned guesthouses and hotels, there are a handful of hostels--though these too are priced pretty steep. You can also find more affordable options in the outlying cities of Annemasse and Gaillard.
