Lake Geneva

4.7/5557 Review
Natural sceneryNight view
Open year round, 24/7
yanke:“Lake Geneva, which shares the same name as the city, is very vast, with a sapphire-like color and sparkling in the sun. From Geneva Airport, you can take a train to Nyon, a small town on the shore of Lake Geneva. The hotel rooms there are large, and the lake view rooms also have terraces to enjoy the lake view. The breakfast is very rich and cost-effective. From the dock in Nyon, you can take a boat to the French flower town opposite and experience the fun of crossing two countries in half an hour. The price of the flower town is lower than that of Switzerland, and it is very pleasant to enjoy authentic French food there.”

Nachtisch:“The United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) is located in the historic Palais des Nations, the second largest UN centre after the UN Headquarters in New York. The facility is an outstanding testimony to twentieth-century architecture and is situated in the beautiful Parc Ariane in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Palais des Nations is one of the largest diplomatic conference centres in the world. Around 8,000 meetings are organised every year. Most of the meeting rooms date back to the original building of the Palais des Nations in the 1930s.”
Ariana Park

5.0/51 Review
Open tomorrow at 08:30-17:30
Nachtisch:“Geneva's Ariane Park, a quiet setting surrounded by the United Nations building, is a place of meditation and peace. The park is centered on the beautiful Ariane Museum dedicated to ceramics and glass art. There are three landmarks in the park: the statue of Gandhi, symbolizing nonviolence; The Marcel Juno monument honors atomic bomb victims and humanitarian devotees; and the gift from Tokyo, Shinagawa Chung, symbolizes friendship and reconciliation among peoples.”

clio0529:“[Scenery] Surrounded by vast lakes and mountains, the scenery and views are unique whether it's sunny or rainy.
[Fun] The weather was overcast and rainy that day, so bringing a brightly colored umbrella and jacket for photos was a real treat!”

Museums
Opening hours: August 26 14:00-18:00
小思文:“The Patek Philippe Museum is also a very precious place. There are many varieties of watches. Many of the Patek Philippe watches are made by hand by master craftsmen. You can appreciate the cultural characteristics of many watches with a century-old history.”

Museums
Opening hours: August 26 10:00-17:00
Nachtisch:“Twelve centuries of ceramic art, the art of fire at the Swiss Museum of Ceramics and Glass. At first glance, the Ariane Museum is a magnificent architectural wonder. The vaulted ceilings are filled with stars, and the hall’s bold colonnades surprise visitors with the luxurious palace built in the late 19th century. The Ariane Museum, which houses 27,000 pieces from Switzerland, Europe, the Middle East and the Far East, witnesss 12 centuries of ceramic art from the Middle Ages to the modern era and is one of Europe’s greatest museums of art on fire.”
The Flower Clock
5.5
4.1/5206 Review
Open year round, 24/7
Nachtisch:“The Geneva Flower Bell is carefully maintained by mosaic planting experts from the Geneva City Greenlands Department and is composed of more than 3,000 plants. It is also equipped with a watering system to ensure that the flowers remain bright. The current pointer is elegantly designed, similar to the original pointer, made by Patek Philippe and generously donated to the city of Geneva. The second hand is2.5 meters long, and is undoubtedly the world's largest second hand. The clock is equipped with an electronic satellite time setting function. The clock will adjust the pattern according to the season or major event, which coincides with the Women's World Cup in Geneva, and the current flower clock shape is lifelike.”
English Garden

4.3/577 Review
Open year round, 24/7
Nachtisch:“The English Garden is located by the lake, facing the big fountain, with famous flower clocks, huge fountains and century-old trees, making it one of the most spectacular green spaces in the UK.”
Broken Chair
5.4
4.1/584 Review
Historic buildings
Open year round, 24/7
Nachtisch:“The giant "broken chair" is a wooden artwork that symbolizes the movement against landmines. The broken chair has only three legs. It is one of the most symbolic art works of the 21st century. The broken chair is the work of the sculptor. It was made for the NGO International Disability Assistance in 1997. Made from 5.5 tons of wood, 12 meters high, this impressive artwork has dominated UN Plaza since 1997. Its message is simple: remember the victims of landmines and urge your government to push for a ban. Before continuing to the international area, consider staying here.”
CERN

M53***33:“The holy land of particle physics. I was on duty here for two months and was fortunate to witness the world's largest accelerator, LHC. CERN Science Gate is worth a visit. There are popular science lectures in different languages, introducing the history and technology of CERN. It is suitable for families with children.”Where to stay

Currently closed
TheForkUser:“We thoroughly enjoyed the lunch menu—an excellent choice that truly impressed. The food was delicious and well-prepared. However, I found the pricing on the drinks to be rather steep, with the markup considerably higher than the industry norm. In hindsight, I should have inquired more about the suggested wine pairing, especially since we ordered by the glass. While the meal was fantastic, the drink prices left a bit to be desired.”

零零星星的旅程:“A small coffee shop. It was raining when I came here, so I stopped to have a cup of coffee to avoid the rain. I ordered a cup of milk coffee and plum pie. The plum pie was very fresh, but the plums were a little sour. I guess not much sugar was added. It was still very delicious 😍.”

Open tomorrow at 18:30
TheForkUser:“Chef Francesca takes it to the next level. Attention to detail is higher than ever, as her understanding of experimental and ancestral techniques. The flavors are frank but exceptionally balanced. Cannot recommend it more. It’s a culinary must-do when in Geneve.”
Rive Droite by Michel Roth
4.8/534 Review
Open tomorrow at 10:00
TheForkUser:“We had brunch at the poolside restaurant and had an absolutely wonderful experience. It was a beautiful day with excellent service, and the food, including the buffet, was delicious.A big thank you to Yoseph and Justine for their service and hospitality.However, I must highlight a concern regarding the dessert buffet. It was very hot, and although the desserts were under parasols, they were not refrigerated. As a medical professional, I know that leaving food out in such conditions can become very dangerous for guests after some time.”

All for 49 per person. Great deal for GVA. Excellent service and ambiance, warmly recommend, we will come back!”
