See More with a Rental Car in Geneva

Geneva is a city in Switzerland that is located at the southern tip of the extensive Lake Geneva (Lake Geneva). Surrounded by the mountains of the Alps and the Jura, the city has views of the spectacular Mont Blanc. It houses the headquarters of the UN for Europe and the Red Cross, and is a world center for diplomacy and banking. It has a wide French influence, from language to gastronomy to bohemian districts like Carouge.

From Lake Geneva itself –Lac Léman–, from the Pont du Mont-Blanc, from the towers of the cathedral, from Mont-Salève –in neighboring France–, from the plane when arriving in the city, or from almost any street… The Jet d'Eau, the 140-meter jet of water that has become the symbol of the city, is not something you have to see in Geneva, it is something you cannot miss, even if you don't want to. And that you will not be able to stop seeing, because it seems to have a hypnotic effect.
