Geneva city breaks

Beautiful lakes and stunning mountains

Take a little Swiss leave and discover the wonders of its clean air and magical scenery on a Geneva city break from The Co-operative Travel.

Beautiful lakes and stunning mountains mark out Geneva as a city which makes a memorable destination for a short break or weekend getaway.

The second largest city in Switzerland, much of Geneva’s attraction stems from its location at the confluence of the lake of the same name and the River Rhone, and from the spectacular mountains of the Alps and Jura ranges which meet here to form a stunning backdrop.

Geneva is very much a global city – no doubt the members of the United Nations, World Health Organisation, International Red Cross, and many of the other 200-plus international bodies which chose it as their headquarters saw its beauty as a prime factor in their choice of location

The presence of these multi-national bodies has lent the city a truly multicultural atmosphere – as well as a ready market for the world-famous Swiss watches which are crafted here, with makers such as Rolex and Omega having the city as their centres of operation.

Geneva weekend breaks and Geneva short breaks give you a taste of a cosmopolitan city where the culture is every bit as grand at its most esteemed residents. The compact Old Town still acts as the hub of activity, and it’s here and close by that you’ll find St Peter’s Cathedral, the Grand Theatre and Town Hall Square, as well as a wealth of fabulous museums.

Geneva’s restaurants and nightlife can be an eye-opener to a first-time visitor, combining the rich variety and prestige feel which is the city’s hallmark.

So if you feel like escaping to enjoy a taste of the high life – quite literally with all those impressive mountains around – try a Geneva break from The Co-operative Travel.
