When my friend and I traveled to Geneva, our trip was definitely more relaxed.  The town of Geneva definitely has a lot of wealth since it is the center of many international relations.  The United Nations is located in this beautiful city too.  The city is close to France and my friend and I were able to travel to Haute-Savoie for an afternoon.  Most of the restaurants and places in Geneva are on the pricey side because of the wealth so I would save up before coming here.

Accommodations 

  • Since the town is wealthy, there are only two hostels, which are still a little pricey
  • My friend and I stayed at the City Hostel.  Even if it was a little expensive, it was totally worth it because they had the best beds
  • The other one is Geneva Hostel

Restaurants

  • I tried snails for the first time at Café Restaurante des Voyageurs and they were delicious
  • You must try the chocolate and cheese fondue here!

Cultural Activities 

  • The United Nations is located here and you can pay for a guided tour around
  • The Ceramic Museum is next to the United Nations and is free! 
  • The famous Le Jet d'Eau is located at the center of the city and next to The Flower Clock

Bars/Clubs

  • There were many bars near the hostel but warning you now that all the drinks are extremely expensive
