Geneva´s gastronomic hand cannot be underplayed - with such a geographically diverse clientele, and more than 1100 restaurants, there´s something to suit even the most fickle epicurean. After a grand fondue feast, you can walk it off and feed your mind at the same time, by strolling around one of the 30 museums to choose from.
But really, it´s just a matter of time until you are drawn to the great Swiss outdoors. Lake Geneva offers ample opportunity for swimming, sailing and hiking, or just spectating - the lake boasts the world´s tallest water jet (Jet d´Eau) that sends seven tonnes of water 140m into the air at 200kmh.
