Old Town of Geneva, Switzerland - Restaurants and Hotels

Palace, Scenic

Geneva might be a wide-reaching center for peacekeeping and global co-operation, but it definitely isn't devoid of holy essence. Follow the zigzag Rue St-Léger straight into the impressive La Vieille Ville, Geneva's Old Town and a quaint holder of the city's cobblestoned history, to breathe the medieval air that cloaks the slender, tortuous streets and spills into minute footway cafes. Have a seat on the world's greatest wooden bench of 126m at Promenade de la Treille, stopover to Pissarro, Cézanne, Renoir and Modigliani at Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, witness the birthplace of Rousseau at 40 Grand-Rue, and decide whether the inquisitive mishmash of architectural styles that make up Cathédrale St-Pierre is to your taste. Whatever you do, you'll definitely yield to La Vieille Ville's indubitable allure.
