Grab your notebook, because we’ve got everything you need for your next weekend break on your own, with family or friends.



1. Indulge yourself, over and over


You’ll just melt with pleasure.
It’ll warm the cockles of your heart in all seasons.
You can have it “half and half”.
You can put your own twist on it, with herbes de Provence, chilli or mushrooms.

We’re talking about fondue, of course! Head to the Bains des Pâquis restaurant to taste the best of Geneva in a warm and friendly setting.

At the Bains des Pâquis restaurant, you’ll find something for all budgets, for young and old.

💶 Fondue price per person: CHF 27.



2. Head over to Yvoire!


Return to France for all the right reasons. Take to the water and head to Yvoire – France’s most stunning village.

You’ll spot its distinctive silhouette from a distance, with its castle and church right at the water’s edge. You’re going to love it!

💶 Prices for a crossing from Geneva to Yvoire on a CGN boat start from CHF 26.



3. Time for bed


How about staying in someone’s home? It doesn’t get any cheaper than this!

Couchsurfing is a sure-fire way to find free and friendly accommodation, complete with home comforts.

And the more adventurous among you can try staying at a farm for an inexpensive and unusual accommodation option.

4. Spend less, explore more

5. Do something (a little bit) brave


If you’re feeling bold and courageous and you love a challenge, take the great leap into Lake Geneva.

Cold water is perfect for boosting your circulation! Wouldn’t you agree?



6. A feast for the eyes


Like to enjoy the great outdoors without leaving the city? Then Geneva is the place for you!

Let yourself be swept away by its laid-back attitude and special spots.
