    The best thing we did when in Geneva was to take the train to Montreux and walk along the shoreline to castle chillon. We then hopped back on the train and stopped in a village and walked around vineyards. Views of the lake and mountains. It was spectacular!

    My wife and I have been twice and each time it was great. There is so much to see and do and the transport is so easy to travel around the city. We enjoyed the United Nations tour and visited the Cern museum. The little yellow lake taxis were great for getting across to the other side. One thing I would really reccommend is a trip in the cable car to the top of Mont Saleve, the view is something to see.

    I was lucky enough to visit Geneva back in the 1980's on a long student trip......really must come back!. The Jet d'eau was the first stop on my day in the city. I grew up in the 1970's and watched the old 60's adventure show The Champions, a series about superhuman secret agents whose HQ was in Geneva and the jet d'eau featured prominently in the titles . Always wanted to see it in real life 🙂.

The old town looks like what i picture a typical Swiss town. What were your recommendations for lunch/dinner at a reasonable rate? Also have you done or going to do any other cities/towns. We will be doing Zurich,St.Moritz, Zermatt,Montreux and Lucerne. Thanks👍

    There isn’t much to see in St Pierre Cathedral. It was a Catholic Cathedral for 1000 years before the reformation, hence it is a Cathedral. But following the reformation it has been vandalised, stripped of everything and became Protestant. The little side chapel is a reminiscent of its former Catholic glory, so is the archeological site underneath.

    Hello Alexis and Louis, Can we buy Bus And Train tickets with the SBB App only for 1 person Or the app allows to buy ticket for 3 people too( considering ,if we have a swiss Half card for 3 people) ???? And, if not ,Then Do all 3 of us need to install the app separately and buy the tickets separately on our individual phones ???? Also, Can the same app be used in Grindelwald or Do we need a separate app?

    Hi Louis. Thanks for all the infos. I want to go to the Les Armures but I have a question. My wife doesn't eat cheese, so she might ask for a chicken plate. I love cheese and I'd like to ask a fondue. Do you know if she can order chicken and I can ask one fondue for one person (paying CHF 30) or there is a minimum 2 person rule for fondues?
