Geneva

Switzerland's second largest city, Geneva has a population of nearly 200,000. Nestling on the south bank of Lake Geneva (Lac Léman), it has a wonderfully attractive setting. Numerous international bodies, including the UN and the World Health Organisation, have headquarters here. Geneva is also one of the world's main centres for timepieces, with renowned manufacturers including Rolex and Omega having a presence.

The city is easily to reach, possessing the country's second-largest airport as well as excellent connections with the European rail network.

The hallmark of Geneva is the Jet d'eau, a fountain rising over the lake. Equally worth seeing are St Peter's Cathedral and Calvin College, one of the oldest public schools in the world.

Having 120 galleries, Geneva is also sought out by artists and art collectors.
