Top Reasons to Go

Falling Water: The feathery Jet d'Eau, Geneva's iconic harbor fountain and the ultimate public shower, is visible for tens of miles in every direction.

Time on Your Hands: According to statistics, it is ten-to-one you'll leave this city of watchmakers with a new timepiece—for glorious old ones, visit the Patek Philippe Museum.

City of God: Perhaps as a backlash against the city's rich beauty, John Calvin's fiery Reformation left so many monuments here.

Block Party! The Fêtes de Genève gives the city a mid-summer break by turning the Rade into a 10-day smorgasbord of international foods.

Exclusive Baubles: A stroll along the shops of the Rue du Rhône is like walking the catalog of the world's finest jewels—only here they're all homegrown.
