Old Town of Geneva(Vieille Ville)

The old town of Geneva is located on the hillside on the south bank of the Rhone River. Due to the high terrain, the locals also call it the upper city. The old town not only gathers ancient buildings such as churches, but also has many art galleries, small bars and antique shops in the winding ancient streets and alleys. The pace of life here is not as hectic as the rest of the city, and it's a great place to slow down and savor the specialties at a leisurely pace. You can stop to see the splendid cathedral, visit the Rousseau residence, or browse the charming streets and alleys for interesting memorabilia. The art galleries in the old town vary in style, ranging from ancient Chinese and Japanese pottery to works belonging to the early Impressionists, and have always been placed in prominent and bright spaces. Various small shops gather together, adding a charm to the old city that attracts shopping desires.
