Begin your journey in the cobbled heart of the Old Town, crowned by the majestic St. Peter’s Cathedral. Climb the tower for an unforgettable 360° view over the city, the lake, and the Alps.

Wander through narrow medieval alleys, past the birthplace of the Reformation, and learn about Geneva’s role in shaping European history. Hear local legends, see secret courtyards, and trace the city’s evolution from Roman times to a modern diplomatic hub.

Midway, treat yourself to a decadent break at Du Rhône Chocolatier, a Geneva institution since 1875. Enjoy handcrafted Swiss chocolate where the locals go—rich, smooth, and unforgettable.

The tour continues downhill through Geneva’s elegant shopping district and ends at the lakefront promenade. Snap a photo by the Jet d’Eau, admire Mont Blanc in the distance, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere by the water.
