Lake Geneva

Lake Geneva is considered as Central Europe’s largest lake between France and Switzerland. As your train moves nearer here, you will start to spot houses resembling French architecture rather than Swiss-style architecture. Visitors usually enjoy the cruise to notable sights, including the emblem of the city of Geneva, the “Jet d’eau”, up to 140metre high eater fountain in the middle of the lake. Geneva itself is a diplomatic hub with many luxury shops and cobbled old town. On the southern end, you can also visit the spa town and resort of Evian-les-Bains or Lausanne, Montreux and Vevey. #eurotrip

Switzerland's fairy-tale land—Vevey, nestled among the lakes and mountains, hides an awe-inspiring artistic wonder. On the shores of Lake Geneva, a gigantic fork stands tall in the water, as if it were a piece of cutlery inadvertently left behind by Jesus Christ during a meal. This is no ordinary object, but a masterpiece by Swiss artist Jean Pierre Zaugg, specially designed to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Vevey Food Museum. Vevey, this small town located between Lake Geneva and the French border, has gained fame far and wide because of this giant fork in the lake. Originally a temporary art installation, it unexpectedly became a landmark of Vevey, drawing countless tourists to explore. Standing on the lakeshore, gazing at the huge fork, one can feel the harmonious blend of art and nature. It not only witnesses the prosperity and changes of Vevey but also serves as a bridge connecting the past and the future. If you also want to experience this wonder and mystery, consider embarking on a journey to Vevey to discover the story behind this giant fork in the lake. There, you will appreciate Switzerland's unique natural scenery and cultural charm, leaving behind unforgettable memories.

🇨🇭The long-awaited Swiss travel diary is finally here We flew directly from Paris to Switzerland, the airfare is cheap and very convenient, those who can adapt can choose to play in two countries together🫡 Although the title is 6 days and 5 nights, we arrived quite late on the first day, which is equivalent to a 5-day itinerary👀 The general route of this trip to Switzerland is: Geneva➡️Zermatt (Matterhorn)➡️Grindelwald (First⛰️)➡️Interlaken (Paragliding🪂)➡️Zurich➡️Lucerne (Rigi⛰️) 🌟Day1–6.5–Paris✈️Geneva Arrived in Geneva in the evening, the airport seemed to be in a state of no one, just follow the crowd to find the bus stop! ‼️About transportation💰: You can directly purchase from 💚"Swiss Railway SBB" (💚 payment available), choose "Swiss Travel Pass" which can be used for all transportation in Switzerland during its validity period, and some scenic spots can enjoy half price discount with Swiss Pass (Matterhorn, First Mountain...) When we bought it, there was a discount, buy 4 days and get 1 day free, perfectly covering the whole itinerary, those who have plans can check in advance whether there are recent activities😎Taking the train at any time saved a lot of time and energy 🏨: Hotel Admiral (8, rue Pellegrino Rossi, 1201, Geneva) This hotel is very cost-effective, with breakfast, close to Geneva train station, and there is Chinese food nearby 🌟Day2–6.6–Geneva🚅Zermatt Woke up in the morning and went to lunch! 🥣: Jingyan (special Sichuan cuisine, and many star photos) The consumption is at p13, the price doesn't seem as scary as the legend, it's about the same as London! The taste is also good😋 📍Flower Clock➡️📍Jet d'Eau➡️📍Lake Geneva The above three attractions are almost together, walking aimlessly along the lake, it's really comfortable, Lake Geneva is very very clear, you can sit/lie by the lake and waste time🥹 I love drinking and watching the lake observing the human vibe🫶🏻 📍Old Town Citywalk Depending on the time, I wandered around the small shops, bought some souvenirs, but didn't go to the church (I'm already immune to European churches🥲) 📍United Nations Palace of Nations🇺🇳➡️📍Broken Chair The Broken Chair is opposite the United Nations, you can check in and take photos, the United Nations should be able to make an appointment for a visit (those who want to go in can find out) 🥣: For dinner, we chose the Swiss specialty cheese pot🫕 Les Brasseurs (right next to Geneva train station, very convenient) The taste is good, only a little bit smelly, with potatoes🥔 it's quite fragrant, but it's a bit greasy if you eat too much. The pork chop is also good with 🍟🥗, they also have a Chinese menu👏🏻 After dinner, we took the train to Zermatt😼 (about 4h in total)

|Romance intertwined with fairy tales and wonderland. "If mountains have a hometown, it must be from Switzerland; if water can be attached, it must have been to Switzerland" Perhaps the cultural charm of it is that although it is a small country, it is so colorful. The picturesque grasslands, the majestic snow-capped mountains, the clear lakes... The breathtaking scenery and characteristic activities make tourists linger. Although Switzerland is small in area, public transportation is very developed, and tourists can reach all parts of Switzerland as they wish. Lake Geneva As the headquarters of the United Nations in Europe, Geneva is a blend of cultures from all over the world; castles, villages and vineyards are scattered around Lake Geneva, and the water and snow-capped mountains, blue sky are connected, thousands of ducks are flying on the lake, and the white swans are leisurely and freely in the water. +Matterhorn Although the Matterhorn is neither the highest peak in Switzerland nor the highest peak in the Alps, it is the image of Switzerland. The design inspiration for Swiss triangular chocolate comes from here, and you can also find the unique species of Switzerland: Valais Blacknose (the prototype of Shaun in the cartoon Shaun the Sheep) Grindelwald The beautiful town located at the foot of the Jungfrau is a must-visit for travelers to the Jungfrau. The historic old town, the blue lake, the continuous snow-capped mountains and the fairy-tale town make this place a must-visit spot for Swiss tourism. Zermatt Zermatt is located at the foot of the Matterhorn, in the midst of many climbing and skiing venues, and its unique geographical location makes it one of the most famous resorts in the world. Ski resort Zurich Zurich is the capital of Zurich, Switzerland, and the largest city in Switzerland. As one of the richest cities in Europe, Zurich is different from the hustle and bustle of other big cities, it exudes a quiet and beautiful atmosphere.

Hello, travel enthusiasts, today I am here to share my 4-day 3-night essence itinerary in Switzerland. After reading this article, I believe you will definitely not get lost when traveling in Switzerland! 💖 First of all, planning the idea of traveling to Switzerland is very important! My suggestion is to choose the mountain you mainly want to go to (First/Jungfrau), the lake you want to play (Brienz/Thun), the small town you want to see (Grindelwald/Longjiang/Lauterbrunnen/Spiez), and then look at the tickets for Zurich and Geneva, and then make the route in and out of Switzerland. Day1️⃣: London✈️➡️Geneva Depart in the morning and fly to Geneva. It takes about 40 minutes to queue when entering the country. However, you can vaguely see the continuous snow-capped mountains in the distance at the airport, which makes me very excited! So, I took the bus directly to the United Nations Palace of Nations. 🇺🇳 Seeing the national flags of various countries at the entrance of the Palace of Nations, I really had some real feelings about the legendary United Nations. If you want to visit, you can make an appointment in advance. There are also the famous broken leg wooden chair and the international anti-landmine sign at the door, which is worth a look! Then, we took the train to Bern. This section of the train route follows Lake Geneva, and the glimpse of the lake and mountains on the train brought a very shocking experience to the British who had never seen snow-capped mountains. 🚄 In Bern, the city named after the bear, we mainly went to the clock tower and the Rose Garden (Rosengarten). The Rose Garden needs to climb a few minutes on the hillside, and the town is very beautiful overlooking the river. 🐻 After the train, we arrived in Grindelwald. Just in time for the sunset in the evening, the slope under the setting sun is really a fairy tale into reality. 🏔️ This is my first three stops in Switzerland, and I will continue to introduce the following itinerary in the next article! I hope my sharing can help you. 💕

#timetotravel#genevalake #citybeach The splendid Lake of Geneva makes a wonderfully chic promenade - the scenery changes depending on which side of the lake you are on! Great for morning jogs or evening walks. There is also a city beach for picnics and swimming. The powerful water jet in the middle of the lake shoots impressively skywards at 200km/hour!
