Geneva Sights

View all »

Geneva pads the southwestern tip of Lac Léman, then bulges farther west into France. The city itself follows the lake as it narrows into the River Rhône. The two halves of this bisected center—Rive Droite (Right Bank, on the north side) and Rive Gauche (Left Bank, to the south)—have distinct personalities. The Old Town, the main shopping streets, and two-thirds of Geneva's museums fill the historic Rive Gauche. The Rive Droite includes the International Area and many handsome hotels. Most of the main neighborhoods are easily explored on foot. More »
