Geneva Tourist Information:
The Old City Hidden away in the Old City's picturesque narrow streets you'll find a multitude of art galleries, antique shops, bookshops and charming cafés. Leading off from the Cathedral, cobbled streets and connecting passageways entice you to stroll around the Bourg-du-Four, along the Promenade de la Treille or the Terrasse Agrippa d'Aubigné. http://www.geneve-tourisme.ch/ Parks and Lakeside 525 acres of public parks to relax in. As you walk along the quays from the Botanical Gardens, past the Flower Clock and the Water Jet all the way round to the beautiful rose gardens in the Parc des Eaux-Vives and the Parc de la Grange, all Geneva's different facets will unfold before you - from its gardens and buildings to the Lake. Shopping All sorts of shops from small boutiques (in the Rue du Rhône neighbourhood and the Corraterie, in the Old City) to department stores in the Rue de la Confédération, de la Croix d'Or, du Marché ("downtown") and Coutance. You can change money in the main Geneva banks, stations and foreign exchange offices. Restaurants Geneva has many restaurants, brasseries and cafés. Most of the museums and department stores have cafeterias as well: Le Barocco at the Musée d'art et d'histoire and the café de l'Ariana Museum are particularly charming. http://www.bonresto.ch/geneve/index.asp and http://www.geneve-tourisme.ch/?rubrique=0000000005 Further Information on GenevaArcade d'information de la Ville de Genève Pont de la Machine 1 1204 Genève Tél. +41 (0) 22-311 99 70 Closed on Sundays Office du Tourisme Rue du Mont-Blanc 18 1201 Genève Tél. +41 (0) 22-909 70 00 Closed on Sundays from 1 September to 15 June.
