Top 20 Best Things to Do in Geneva - 2023

"The famous Geneva fountain on Lake Geneva. After the first day of landing, we took the train from the airport to Lausanne. We saw the fountain far away on the road. On the day we left, we went to see it. It was really special and shocking."

"The Palais des Nations, with its dignified architectural community and unique historical status, has become a must-check-in landscape in Geneva, Switzerland. The League of Nations was established in Geneva in 1920 after the First World War. It hosted the construction of the Palais des Nations in 1931-1938, as the headquarters of the League of Nations, also known as the League of Nations Building. After World War II, the Palais was owned by the United Nations in 1946, and then the location of the United Nations Office at Geneva, also known as the United Nations European headquarters. Visiting the Palais des Nations, two striking highlights are significant. The flag is fluttering. On the south side of the Palais des Nations, four rows of flag poles are divided in two and two, brushing from the gate to the building; the flags of more than 190 United Nations member states are suspended high, fluttering in the wind... The world is in harmony, festive and peaceful. Broken chairs are broken. The Palais des Nations, the sculpture "broken leg bench" stands, but wakes up to the world never forget the disaster brought by the mines in the war to innocent people. The back of the 12-meter-high chair is directly inserted into the sky; the legs of the three missing chairs are strung up...war trauma, humiliation and sorrow. The flag and the broken chair seemed to meditate: War and peace, the two drivers of human history, when will the development of pluralistic peace and globalization be ushered in?"

"The tall column of water that rises up into the sky directly from the lake is spectacular. The artificial fountain was originally built in 1891 and was only 90 meters high. It is powered by two sets of underwater pumps, weighing 16 tons, driven by a 500 kW 2,400 volt engine that reaches 1,500 rpm."

"Next to Lake Geneva, I will pass by every day. This is a famous attraction. It is relatively large, but I don’t think I have anything to see. It is a clock composed of flowers. It may be of greater significance."

"its really a nice experience walking around the city so peaceful and calm nature at its best"

"In the square outside the Palais des Nations in Geneva, a 12-meter-high, 5-ton sculpture-broken wooden chair stands prominently, with the subtitle of Daniel of Switzerland: Live with dignity. The sculptures represent the damage caused by landmines to human bodies, reveal the disasters brought to the world by war, and show that peace is the common yearning of mankind."

"Peter's Basilica, also known as St. Peter's Basilica, is a Catholic religious temple built between 1506 and 1626, one of the important symbols of the Catholic Church. The church covers an area of 23,000 square meters, with a diameter of 42 meters in the center and a height of about 138 meters. The church is considered the most sacred site of the Catholic Church. It contains murals and sculptures by many artists of the European Renaissance such as Michelangelo and Raphael.

"When I arrived in Geneva, Switzerland, no one knew about the famous big flower clock; the English garden where the big flower clock is located was mentioned, and there were very few people who knew it. The British garden covering an area of 2.5 10,000 square meters, the largest of the series of city parks on the shore of Lake Geneva in downtown Geneva. In 1854, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Geneva's accession to the Swiss Confederation, the English garden was built on the shore of Lake Geneva on the north side of the old town. Another hundred years - 1955, the world's first flower clock was built on the southwest edge of the garden. The bell, which is 5 meters in diameter and consists of more than 6,500 bright flowers, has ranked first in the world for decades and is loved by citizens and tourists. Slowly, the big flower bell became an iconic landscape in Geneva, and the name of the British garden was quietly forgotten. After close contact with the big flower clock, go around the English garden, the dense ancient trees, the spacious green lawn, the fountains overflowing with water columns, the simple and elegant pavilion, and the clear blue lake, the couple who walk arm in arm... Romantic and fresh feeling, really good."
