More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You meet at Plainpalais as the tram sighs away and the guide in an orange helmet hands you a map and a bike. The city opens in stages: tree-lined boulevards give way to the spray of the Jet d'Eau, cobbled lanes of the Old Town, and the calm sweep of Lake Geneva daring you to slow down and look. Pedals click, conversations thread through plazas, and the wind off the lake pushes you toward the international quarter.
