Renting a serviced apartment or holiday letting in the ‘Peace Capital’ provides the ideal destination from where you can take in all that this incredible region has to offer. Situated at the end of Lake Geneva and surrounded by both the Jura mountains and the Alps, Geneva couldn’t be a more spectacular location for a Swiss getaway if it tried.

What better place to start your tour of Geneva city than in Old Town. Take a wander down the narrow passageways and find yourself in a secret courtyard, hidden from view or surrounded by beautiful old buildings that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Here you will also find St. Pierre’s Cathedral, a vast and impressive building that dominates this charming part of the city. If you are feeling particularly energetic you may like to climb the 157 steps up the top of the north tower for some superb views over the sprawling city below.

Old Town is also home to the Arsenal. This 400 year old building began it’s life as a granary before being put to more military use. Now it stands guard over Old Town with it’s five cannons at the ready. Take a look at the stunning frescoes adorning the archway of the Arsenal. Each work of art depicts an important period in Geneva’s colourful history.

Your serviced residence or aparthotel in Geneva also gives you access to the glorious English Park. Take a walk through these beautiful grounds and view the lavish, bronze fountain and exquisite busts. This park is also known for it’s famous ‘Flower Clock’, a living clock designed from flowers with it’s face alone comprising of around 6,500 plants. The clock’s second hand measures an enormous 2.5 metres long giving you some idea of the scale of this amazing piece of art and giving a whole other meaning to the humble ‘dandelion clock’.

Whilst in Geneva one sight you simply shouldn’t miss is the Jet d’eau. This incredible water fountain has a jet that reaches 140 metres high and is a particularly spectacular sight in the evenings when the jet is beautifully illuminated.

From your apartment rental or holiday let in Geneva you can also take a fishing trip on the lake with a professional angler. The fisherman will take you out on his boat and give you some excellent hints and tips on how to catch your supper which will then be prepared for you by one of the local restaurants. Why not team your fresh catch with a bottle of chilled, white wine for the perfect end to the day.
