Geneva Illuminated

Today’s adventure begins with a scenic drive through the majestic Swiss Alps to the pristine shores of Lake Geneva or how the French call it, Lac Leman. The city of Geneva is widely known as the diplomatic hub of Europe with luxury shops and a charming cobbled city center as well as the city of peace with Headquarters of the European United Nations and the International Red Cross.
