Geneva welcomes you with waterfront strolls, airy green spaces, and gorgeous gardens. Understandably, it is a healthy place to live. Set before the magnificent chain of the Alps and Jura, with the River Rhône at its feet, Geneva is breathtaking in every season.
Adding to the majesty of this sparkling city is Europe 's most impressive fountain which sends water up to over 450 (140 metres) feet into the air.
Geneva has long had the reputation for being tolerant of many political and religious views. At the invitation of William Farel, John Calvin brought his religious views to the city in the early 1500s, but was quickly expelled. His puritanical views didn't hold, however, and this is evidenced by the luxury homes along the lake. Boutiques overflow with many designer names, the streets are lined with limousines and the lake is dotted with spectacular yachts.
While there is the Escalade celebration in December which attracts many with its costumed parade, the entire calendar is filled with cultural festivities. Museums and art galleries are also sprinkled around the city.
The International Red Cross and the United Nations are both based in this worldly city. It is also well known for its banking centre. And, of course, Geneva is the starting point for any great ski vacation at one of the many ski resorts in Switzerland .
