This self-guided audio tour winds back Geneva’s contemporary and ancient history on a lakeside stroll. Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll along Geneva's left bank. Where does the name Geneva come from? Why isn’t a watch called a clock? I’ll share the stories behind these questions and several others as we stroll along the left bank of the world-famous Bay of Geneva and across the river Rhone. Whether this is your first time in Geneva or you’re a seasoned visitor, during this walking tour, you’ll hear plenty of tales that’ll surprise you. You’ll learn about watchmaking, finance, industry, philosophy, the Celts, the Romans and the struggle for our city’s independence.
