All those people who said, "Geneva?? Whatever for? There's nothing there!"...they don't have a clue! What a great place to spend a couple of days (or preferably more).

Transportation is second to none, as is any European capital. As for bang for you buck, Geneva is the home of wealth, so don't expect your money to go far.

As for bang for you buck, Geneva is the home of wealth, so don't expect your money to go far. But the only thing budget about Geneva, is the number of budget airlines flying there. Thats what makes Geneva. It has lots of money, & everything, right down to the street furniture is about being the best, not most cost effective. If your on a tight budget, its still worth getting checked into a Hostel, buy some food, rather than eat out, & just walk around the streets. The shop windows & culture will keep you busy for at least a few days. Take a look at the super expensive jewellery & watches, & marvel at the Swiss confectionary, & the architecture of some of the banks.close

A true European city of culture. Superb location, very civilised, smart and provides a wonderfully relaxed and safe environment for all ages. You don't have to be rich or spend lots of money to enjoy Geneva. There is something for everyone. The Swiss are both welcoming and organised....more A true European city of culture. Superb location, very civilised, smart and provides a wonderfully relaxed and safe environment for all ages. You don't have to be rich or spend lots of money to enjoy Geneva. There is something for everyone. The Swiss are both welcoming and organised. Although there are people from all nationalities living and visiting the city, it was a lovely blend and still had the Swiss feeling of cleanliness, order and calm.close

switzerland is expensive so "value for money" is a hard one to judge. i liked geneva, we were only there for 4 days so there was enough for us to see. there were some other museums that we could have gone to see had we been there for longer but as someone said to me- there isn't a...more switzerland is expensive so "value for money" is a hard one to judge. i liked geneva, we were only there for 4 days so there was enough for us to see. there were some other museums that we could have gone to see had we been there for longer but as someone said to me- there isn't a lot to see in geneva but to have experienced geneva is the important thing. i found the people to be nice and we enjoyed ourselves. it was easy to walk around to see most things. the UN tour was interesting but i would have preferred to see more. the international entertainment in the irish pubs was great! geneva is a great place to shop, for people on a budget and people who aren't. enjoy it!close
