Geneva - a Modern-Day Multi-Cultural Marvel
This tiny city (population: 190,000) is home to just about every major European organisation and the resulting population of migrants, ex-pats and locals have ensured Geneva is a truly European experience! About 45% of the city's population come from around 180 different countries so the food, bars, entertainment and languages within Geneva sing with diversity.
But, (and it's a big but) don't come to Geneva looking for cheap weekend breaks. Diversity don't come cheap! What you will find though is a slick, tidy and utterly pretty spot on Lake Geneva full of Kodak moments and memorable sights. Romantic weekend breaks? Yes!
Geneva is relatively small so you walk almost everywhere within the city limits. This makes it ideal for short breaks. And if you do want to venture further afield, or are over the walk, collect a free transport pass for the local buses when you check in at your hotel.
Geneva is home to great institutions including the Red Cross and CERN and has a surfeit of free museums to enjoy. The lakefront is truly spectacular and medieval Europe junkies will get their full of ye olde Europe.
