Geneva is a jewel city nestled between a lake and mountains. From the fascinating Jet d’Eau to the snow-capped Mont Blanc, it offers stunning views that change with the light. It’s the second most populous city in Switzerland (after Zurich) and is the most populous city of Romandy, the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Situated where the Rhone exits Lake Geneva, it is the capital of the Republic and Canton of Geneva.
Geneva is a global city, a financial center, and worldwide center for diplomacy due to the presence of numerous international organizations, including the headquarters of many of the agencies of the United Nations and the Red Cross. Geneva is the city that hosts the highest number of international organizations in the world. It is also the place where the Geneva Conventions were signed, which chiefly concern the treatment of wartime non-combatants and prisoners of war.
A walk along the Geneva Lake amidst the setting sun, Cheese Fondue for dinner, a stroll around the narrow and cobbled street of the old town with a hint of rain kissing the face are some of the memories I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. Is there such a thing as love at first sight for a city?
