Hello and welcome to this UCPlaces walking tour of Old Town Geneva Switzerland. My name is Dave, and it will be my pleasure to be your co-pilot today, as we embark on a captivating journey beginning along the serene banks of the Rhône River, where the city’s rich history meets its vibrant present. As you stroll through the charming cobbled streets and picturesque squares, you’ll venture through centuries of cultural and historical significance. From ancient Roman marketplaces to the heart of the Protestant Reformation, each stop offers a glimpse into Geneva’s fascinating past. Discover architectural gems like the iconic St. Pierre Cathedral, the Maison Tavel, and the historic Hôtel de Ville, all within a leisurely walk from one another. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views from the Promenade de la Treille and immerse yourself in the legacy of the Reformation at the famous Reformation Wall. We will conclude with an unforgettable moment at the water’s edge, where the majestic Jet d’Eau fountain rises dramatically from Lake Geneva, offering a spectacular finale to your exploration of this enchanting city. With each step, Old Town Geneva reveals its timeless charm, making this walking tour an enriching experience for history enthusiasts and curious travelers alike. Today’s tour will take us roughly two and half hours, covering two miles, across relatively level terrain, making for a comfortable experience. We begin today at a convenient location, near the main train station, and next to parking lots, for those who drove here. This is also a drop off point for some cruise ships and ferries. Follow your GPS navigation, and we will begin shortly.
