The name Geneva conjures up images of crisp weather, beautiful green open spaces and water, lots of water; this the third largest city in Switzerland is incredibly wealthy with many of the worlds most famous diplomatic, international and financial organisations based within its centre.
The standard of living is incredibly high with only the very best of quality acceptable, the downside for the inhabitants is the high cost of living that goes alongside this – of course tourists get to take advantage of the benefits without the long term commitments.
Geneva is cosmopolitan, filled with a true melting pot of languages and cultures, people come here for the work and stay for the lifestyle, the young and the trendy eating in the most modern of restaurants, drinking in some of the best bars in Europe and enjoying the beauty of the largest Alpine lake with its dramatic shores, wildlife, and water activities. A close proximity to the Alps also makes Geneva the perfect base for short break skiing trips, making this urbane city the perfect destination for those that want a little more from a winter activity holiday.
