1.

Cool restaurants in Geneva

Every palate will be delighted in this historic, trendy and INTERNATIONAL city of Geneva. Because yes for the cuisine in Geneva, you can find world restaurants, brasserie, traditional, fusion and inventive gastronomy alongside some typically Genevan dishes. Let’s get right to the heart of the matter with the restaurants. To have a good stay it is essential to know where to eat (very) well, so here are some nice restaurants in Geneva.

Cuisine: Burger and more burger! If you’re on a diet, skip it. Inglewood is also the calorie dungeon. Please note that all burgers are available with vegetable steaks.
Atmosphere: No time to dwell on the atmosphere, the restaurant is often packed. Try to come just before the big rush at noon to hope to get a table.
Price: 30% more expensive than a classic fast food (mcdonald’s, burger king…). The first burger starts at 15,5 CHF (CLASSIC “B”) with salad, tomato, onions, iwood sauce and 160G steak

nightlife in Geneva?

You now know where to eat, let me tell you about the crazy parties in Geneva, let’s talk about where to go out at night in Geneva.

I had the opportunity to test this club and other nightclubs in Geneva or elsewhere in Switzerland and I must admit that the Baroque remains my favorite club. Far from the rather young crowd of the Bypass, the Baroque will delight you. As far as music is concerned, sound is always in the main trends of the moment.

This club has everything to please, even the staff is nice and welcoming. The only negative point is the price of the drinks. The notes can very quickly soar to a few thousand francs.

ROOFTOP 42

If you are in the city centre and you don’t know what to do after work, I recommend the rooftop bar°42 in the centre of Geneva. It offers you an exceptional setting, with a breathtaking view of the lake.

The Rooftop 42 is certainly the bar with the most beautiful view in Geneva. It’s a party place where singers, artists & djs will make you dance until 2am, from Tuesday to Saturday!

Moreover, the cocktails are excellent, the only drawback is the waiting time to be served. This very popular bar in Geneva is often crowded. Numerous parties are organized with either Dj, singers or artists.

The black cat is the place to spend crazy evenings with friends without taking the head. Yes, Le chat noir may not be in the center of Geneva, but the staff is very nice, the drinks are affordable and the music is varied just like the eclectic artists who play there.

So if you’ve had a complicated week, don’t hesitate and go relax at the Chat Noir.

culture and nature space in Geneva?

Soon the end of our test on the cool places in Geneva, but there’s no way I’m not going to give my opinion on the city’s cultural and natural spaces. Here we go!

It’s a place I’m particularly fond of. It was my father who took me there the first time. And that’s when I met Janus! For those who don’t know, Janus is a two-headed turtle that was born in the museum. For ticket prices : Access to the permanent exhibitions of the museums of the City of Geneva is free

Practical information: Route de Malagnou 1, 1208 Geneva, Switzerland

LA GRANGE PARK

With its winding paths, beautiful plants and trees, this is a walk I recommend.

A large park near Lake Geneva, quiet, with a playground for children. The park has a free and clean public toilet.

This park is ideal to spend a good time walking alone or with the family, even a little nap, or ideal for yoga groups or outdoor sports.
