City advice
Getting around
use the buses and trams system instead of a car
Geneva is particularly tricky for car users, with many bus and bike lanes that intensify car traffic. parking is also difficult or expensive
Book before you go
book your guided tours in advance
Cern and the UN tours can get quite busy, so make sure you book in advance
Getting around
bike is the best way to get around
in the summer time you can rent one for free behind the train station!
