Second largest in Switzerland, largest French speaking, home of the Red Cross and United Nations, one of the top rated cities in the world, Geneva is the right place to spend time with the family. Apart from relaxing at the lake Geneva, the city is surrounded by the Alps and the Jura hills. The city centre is easy to access with all main sights such as St. Pierre's cathedral, Hotel de Ville (town hall) and the flower hours at the promenade being close by. The city might appear busy at the first sight but there are still few areas like the Geneve Plage park at the lake with water slides and playgrounds or the Jardin Anglais, where you can relax and ride the mini train. The Baby Plage is also a great place to get some fresh air, offering a sandy beach and grass area at the lake. BCG Tip: For car lovers with older kids, visit the annual car show at the Expo. If you are interested in science, visit the nearby CERN science centre. All hotels will provide you with free day pass for the public transport and a city map.
