Geneva

I remember reading somewhere that Geneva, the Swiss city, was named among the best European destinations for weekend trips. It has been a favourite destination long before social media and instagram, for its gorgeous architecture, perfect gardens and beautiful landscapes.

Lake Geneva is considered one of the most beautiful areas not only in the city, but also in the country. The area around the lake in Geneva is a popular place for walking and jogging. We started our tour with a walk around the lake.

The Geneva Water Fountain is among Geneva landmarks and popular attractions. It's a remarcable water jet that can be seen from many places in the city. It's located where Lake Geneva meets the Rhône River.

Not far from the lake and the water fountain, there are the English Gardens with iconic clock flower, the bed flower that imitates a clock with its shape and numbers. And it actually works. You can read the time on the bed flower in the garden. :)

From the English Gardens, we found our way to the old center of Geneva, probably the most picturesque area in the city. The old area is filled with narrow streets, cute little squares, nice cafes and historical buildings.

Bourg-de-Four Square is the oldest square in Geneva and has been one of Geneva’s most important meeting places over the time. Now, it's a commercial center and a beautiful square surrounded by fine buildings.

We took a walk in Promenade des Bastions, a sort of park, or rather an open green space, a nice area in the city.

We moved to another part of Geneve for the last stop in the city, Parc de I’Ariana, a beautiful park with Palais des Nations at its center.

United Nations office complex is known for its white marble façade and its statues and museums around it. One of the main attractios, though, is the sculpture in front of it, The Broken Chair designed by Swiss artist, Daniel Berset,
