We will pass in front of one of the unique museums in the world. The work of the Red Cross, founded in Geneva, earned it 3 Nobel Peace Prizes in the 20th century.

We will enjoy the view from a beautiful high point in the commune of Pregny-Chambesy. It will allow us to appreciate the Alps including the majestic Mont Blanc as well as Lake Geneva from its western shore. Perfect spot for beautiful photos.

We will stop at the Biggest Flagship Store in Geneva for a short refreshment break. And of course we will visit their complete "Swiss Chocolate Corner". From here we will resume the tour, this time on foot.

We will have the opportunity to purchase a CUSTOMIZED original Swiss Army Knife or a beautiful Swiss watch. What better souvenir of your trip to Switzerland? On the beautiful Rue de Marché, we will visit one of the few Victorinox flagship stores in the world. The iconic Swiss brand is 138 years old and its history is unique.

We will admire from Place de Neuve the Opera House - Grand Théâtre, the Geneva Conservatory of Music, the Bust of Henry Dunant (founder of the Red Cross), the old city wall and the beautiful entrance to the Parc des Bastions; our next stop.

Inside the Parc des Bastions is the International Monument of the Reformation, generally known as REFORMATION WALL. Its large dimensions of approximately 99 meters long and 9 meters high, is attached to a part of the ancient walls built in the XVI century and surrounded the city until the XIX century. Pays tribute to the movement's most relevant figures: Jean Calvin, Guillaume Farel, Théodore de Bèze and John Knox.

A curious corner in Geneva is this huge green bench of 120 meters long, built in 1767 - Guinness record as the largest bench in the world. Its location is privileged, above the Parc des Bastions and precisely at the entrance of the old city. It is an elevated point with excellent views. Another ideal place to take nice pictures.

We will pass by this beautiful historic building. The Maison Tavel is just a few meters from our previous stop, in the heart of the old town, the oldest private residence in Geneva still standing! Unique testimony of medieval architecture in Switzerland. Destroyed by fire in 1334, the Tavels, a family of Geneva nobles, rebuilt it, giving the house its character of an urban palace. After passing through the hands of several influential families over the centuries, the City of Geneva acquired the house in 1963 and undertook an incredible restoration. This small museum, on its 6 floors, illustrates the urban development of the city, as well as various aspects of the daily life of the former inhabitants of Geneva. Inside there is the largest model of Switzerland (approx. 30 m2): LE RELIEF MAGNIN. A spectacular reconstruction of Geneva before the demolition of its fortifications in 1850.
