To see and do in Geneva:
Harbour and Lake Shores - The water jet (operating from March to October) springs from the lake to a height of 400 feet and signals the city's presence from a long way off. It is the pride of the Genevans and a must-see attraction for tourists, and lets you discover an enchanting part of the city: the banks of Lake Leman lined with attractive houses and parks with remarkable views.
Old Town - This district of Geneva which notably houses the cathedral, the monument of the Reformation, the Town Hall but also many old streets and charming squares such as that of Bourg-de-Four, the place where fairs were held in the Middle Ages, reveals the Geneva of bygone days, once limited by town walls, which is picturesque and well restored.
Palais des Nations - This Geneva palace, built between 1929 and 1936 for the League of Nations, has since 1946 been the second centre of the United Nations whose headquarters are in New York. One can visit several rooms, including those of the Assemblies, used for plenary sessions, and that of the Council, for the most important conferences, and indeed a philatelic museum. Around it stretches a huge park containing works of art. - see www.unog.ch
