History gave Switzerland little land. Nature has compensated with the finest natural sights in Europe. You'll get the best Switzerland offers when you visit the Alpine regions.

Although Geneva is but a point as it were, on the globe, yet it has made itself the most interesting one perhaps on the globe. Industry, honesty, simplicity of manners, hospitality, and science seem to have marked it as their own, and interest all mankind in prayers for the continuance of its freedom and felicity.

Set on the banks of Lake Léman between the Alps and the Jura mountains in the Southwest corner of Switzerland, Geneva enjoys a temperate climate and a breathtaking scenery, with Alpine lakes, snow-capped mountains, lush forests and enchanting countryside making up much of the 282 sq km of the Canton of Geneva. 

Fashionable hotels, chic restaurants and elegant shops jostle for position along the flower-decked lakefront which encircles the famous "jet d'eau" fountain. Several local restaurants have been awarded top marks in the Michelin guide. There is also a surprisingly wide variety of establishments from other countries.

There is an extensive range of excursion possibilities to places of interest in Switzerland and neighbouring France and Italy. Geneva, the city in the countryside - the best of both worlds.
