Geneva is attractive to many people. First, to the world\u2019s wealthiest individuals, whose attraction to the Swiss city cannot be reduced to mere financial considerations, but above all to a lover of beautiful cities and breathtaking places<\/strong>. Nestled in the heart of the Alps, on the shores of Lake L\u00e9man\u2014which our Swiss friends call Lake Geneva\u2014the city is simply stunning thanks to its proximity to both the water and the mountains.<\/p>\n

Whether you've already decided to visit Switzerland's second-largest city or are still on the fence, here are five things you absolutely must do in Geneva!<\/p>\n

Boating on the lake<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A true local gem\u2014visible even from Haute-Savoie across the way\u2014the lake promises a postcard-worthy photo at every turn. The water enhances the beauty of the surrounding monuments, as well as the stunning parks that line its shores.<\/p>\n

Just keep one thing in mind: your vocabulary!\u00a0As a reminder, the Swiss refer to it as Lake Geneva.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lake Geneva (we hope they\u2019ll forgive us) is largely located in Switzerland, given its immense size. More than 348 of its 582 square kilometers\u2014which, incidentally, make it the largest Alpine lake in Western Europe\u2014lie within Swiss territory.<\/p>\n

So why not take a cruise there?\u00a0to catch a glimpse of the treetops<\/a>, head out to the open sea, watch the fishermen, and even stroll along some vineyard-lined hillsides.<\/p>\n

Visit the Museum of Art and History<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Home to a collection of legendary and unique works, the museum is an important part of Swiss culture. Its large glass roof also makes the museum\u2019s architecture particularly striking.<\/p>\n

As a true French person, you\u2019ll surely be able to recognize certain paintings by Monet, C\u00e9zanne, or even Braque.<\/p>\n

Attend a sporting event<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Swiss people are generally very enthusiastic about sports. The country has numerous sports facilities and infrastructure, and every effort is made to ensure that athletes are happy. Running in the many parks or cycling through the cities are very enjoyable activities.<\/p>\n

Several times during the summer months, Swiss cantons open mountain passes exclusively to cyclists, and numerous cyclosportives are organized for cyclists from around the world, including in Geneva.<\/p>\n

Track and field is very popular in Switzerland, where rising local star Julien Wanders is proving to be the perfect ambassador. If you visit in May, you might have the chance to attend the renowned Geneva Marathon. It\u2019s always a very impressive event to watch!<\/p>\n

While skiing is, of course, still the national sport<\/strong>, Switzerland still boasts international stars in sports that are more widely recognized around the world. Take Shaqiri, for example, who won the soccer Champions League with Liverpool last year. And if you\u2019re an NBA fan, keep in mind that Geneva is Clint Capela\u2019s hometown. The Swiss center was born there in 1994, and he has a good chance this year of\u00a0win the NBA championship<\/a>\u00a0with his Houston Rockets team.<\/p>\n

Water sports are, of course, also very popular. Thanks to the opportunities offered by the lake, you can watch regattas or even rowing races.<\/p>\n

Try a local specialty there<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We know what you're thinking\u2026 Yes, you shouldn't run out of chocolate, and you should be able to stop feeling guilty:\u00a0It's normal to \u201csample\u201d Swiss chocolate in Switzerland<\/strong>\u00a0!<\/p>\n

And if you really want to eat local, try the Longeole, a pork and fennel sausage.<\/p>\n

Attend a trade show\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Swiss often do things well and like to show it. Held every year in March, the International Auto Show is the\u2019one of the most renowned in the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During the same period, the International Fine Watchmaking Fair is a must-see. Most of the major Swiss jewelers showcase their craftsmanship there. And to highlight innovation, this fair is often followed by the International Invention Fair.<\/p>\n

From France,\u00a0Geneva remains one of the best ways to get \u201cabroad\u201d for a weekend<\/strong>. Located not far from Lyon and the Grand Est region, it won't take you long to get there. So, shall we go there?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
