Geneva

Geneva's legacy as a cultural crossroads has produced an unusually rich arts scene for a city of its size: most performance spaces in town are roadhouses, through which flow a steady stream of foreign as well as Swiss artists. Tickets remain on sale from theater box offices up to the day of performance, but it's wise to book ahead.
