Geneva<br />

Geneva is the cultural capital of Switzerland (the political capital is Bern). An elegant city that<br />

sits beside beautiful Lake Geneva, its clean, orderly streets are lined with interesting museums,<br />

sophisticated restaurants and a variety of stylish shops and cafés. The Roman-Gothic architecture of<br />

Cathedral St Pierre is at its centre and Jet d’Eau, the world’s tallest fountain, is further down by the<br />

lake. Geneva is a magical city where you can walk along gorgeous lakeside promenades, discover<br />

historic streets and be enchanted by spectacular mountain scenery, all while enjoying beautiful<br />

handmade Swiss chocolates for which the country is famous for the world over.<br />
