Carouge
1 Across the across the Waterway Arve is situated Carouge, a community within Geneva. Many think about it to be the city’s Greenwich Community, except for this location possesses an Island impression; it was previously a section of Sardinia. Walk along the small winding streets that are full of places to sit and eat,  have a few drinks in the local bars, and shop at the fancy boutiques.
Forty Museums
2 With more than forty museums to select from, Geneva provides everything for any traveller’s desires. Ensure that you pay a visit to Geneva’s Artwork and then History Museum or maybe the Red-colored Cross Museum; Book a sightseeing guided tour at reasonable costs. Should you be going to explore plenty of museums, obtain a city pass which enables you to save some cash, entry charges increase in peak season.
Jet D’eau
3 The city of Genevas most famous monument, it features an outstanding fountain well worth viewing, and great photography opportunities to be had here. It is free to visit and see the water in the fountain pumps the water up 160 ft up into the air! Amazing to see and the fountain is illuminated in the evenings. A definite must visit while in Geneva.
Palais Des Nations (UN)
4 The Private tour treats you to some of the important meeting rooms in the UN and gives a good explanation of the primary structure of the UN. The guided tour goes into a lot more depth about how the UN works in practice and gives examples of the critical programs of the UN.All in all, definitely worth a visit while in Geneva. See all the flags from every country as well.        
Lake Geneva
5 Lake Geneva is just a breathtaking place. It extends from Geneva right to theValais and includes France. Guided walking tours around the lake are lovely. There are so many amazing parks and gardens to be seen around the lake. There are places to eat, places to swim but only in the warmer weather of course. Grab a boat tour and go around the lake is lovely and relaxing.  
Cathedrale de St-Pierre
6 The cathedral is situated in Geneva's old town which is also lovely to wander around the small streets. This is a beautiful church with a magnificent chapel. The views from the towers are breathtaking, and you really must do it while in Geneva. Once you climb the many stairs to get to the top, you are treated to the most spectacular view of Geneva, which is breathtaking.  
Jardin Botanique
7 If you love botanical gardens, you will love this place, one of the genevas little treasures for sure. The beautiful gardens are well maintained, and they have some peacocks and rabbits running around. Great place in the summer where you can take a picnic and relax or go for a jog around the park. There is a gift shop selling a few souvenirs and a cafe if you want to grab a bite to eat.    
Museum of Natural History
8 Well organised with an incredible range of stuffed animals. Excellent choice of interactive games and videos for children is definitely recommended. The dinosaur exhibit was fantastic and curated well, with some fascinating information on people's perception and understanding of dinosaurs throughout the ages, genuinely exciting stuff! If you are interested in natural history, give yourself a few hours to enjoy this exhibit.   
Broken Chair Sculpture
9 The chair is a symbol of fragility and strength, precariousness and stability, brutality and dignity. It was originally meant to urge nations to ban anti-personnel mines Now as we see it, it is a symbol of the desperate cry of war-torn civilian populations. This large chair standing on only three legs in a big square faces the UN building. .The Broken Chair monument is situated in front of the Palais des Nations and symbolises opposition to land mines. 
Statue of Frankenstein
10 This is a simple statue of Frankenstein's the monster walking through an area of Plainpalais. It's life-sized, if I can say that, and is completely by itself. Erected to commemorate the fact that parts of Mary Shelley's book are based in Geneva. It didn't take long to find this, and it's wonderful. Unique different and bonkers, but wonderful. you will love it.
