Geneva offers a diverse heritage combining history, science, and nature on the shores of Lake Geneva. The city houses institutions such as the Palace of Nations and CERN, religious buildings like Saint Pierre Cathedral where Calvin preached, as well as cultural spaces like the Patek Philippe Museum dedicated to Swiss watchmaking. The Jet d'Eau, an emblematic fountain shooting water 140 meters high, marks the lake landscape. Visitors also explore the collections at the Natural History Museum, walk through botanical gardens housing alpine and tropical plants, or visit Maison Tavel, the oldest medieval house in the city. The Bains des Pâquis offer swimming and relaxation by the lake with views of Mont Blanc. This concentration of historic, scientific, and natural sites makes Geneva a comprehensive destination for discovering the Swiss Romand heritage.
