Top Attractions in Genève
💡 Picnic here on a clear day for the best free view of the Alps. The clock is replanted twice a year, so check the season for floral patterns.
💡 Go at sunset for gold-lit spray. The water can drift, so stand upwind to avoid a soaking.
💡 The giant chess boards are free to use but pieces are often scattered. Bring a book or just people-watch on a sunny weekday. The park's north end has a free public table tennis table.
💡 Free on the first Sunday of each month for all special exhibitions too. Otherwise, the permanent collection alone takes a good two hours. Arrive early to avoid coach groups.
💡 Borges' grave has a simple stone with engraved runes from Norse sagas. Free map at the entrance. Best in mid-afternoon when the light hits the trees.
