Geneva IS far better than that video ! And the fountain really IS remarkable. In summer, there is a very nice public swimming place near it, accessible from the quarter "Paquis" (Quai du Mont Blanc / Rue du Léman) which is an exceedingly nice place. You can go swimming with the "Jet d'Eau" in direct sight, and the whole of the City around you.





and a nice small restaurant with some quite nice wines available at modest prices (50% of Mythenquai and Tiefenbrunnen in Zürich ! )

Geneva sports a nice range of Maghreb/Lebanon restaurants, primarily in the Paquis, which can also be praised

Attention: shopping generally price-wise tends to be Zurich plus 10%, while the restaurants are Zurich minus 10%. Restaurants in nearby France of course are much cheaper and in case of doubt far better.

Overall a great city
