Overview

Take a trip to Geneva on your Switzerland Vacation

Geneva is the second-largest city in Switzerland, nestled within the country’s French-speaking region. It is a dynamic hub revered globally for its financial prowess and diplomatic prominence at the intersection of the Rhone River and the expansive Lake Geneva. Geneva is not merely a geographical nexus but a centre for international diplomacy, as the European headquarters for the United Nations and housing vital entities like the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). 

Embrace the unique opportunity to delve into the heart of global humanitarian efforts, immersing yourself in the city's vibrant cultural history. Watch as the city unfolds with 82 buildings and landmarks gracing its landscape, each recognized as a Swiss heritage site of national significance and telling Geneva's storied past in their own ways. The iconic Jet d’Eau stands tall among them as one of the world's largest fountains, positioned at the point where Lake Geneva converges with the Rhone River. The fountain's grandeur will captivate you throughout the city, illuminated magnificently in the night sky and symbolizing Geneva's role as a beacon of diplomacy. Be sure to venture into the city's culinary realm and indulge in Geneva's diverse culinary scene, reflecting the internationality of its residents. Embark on a delicious gastronomic journey, ranging from traditional Swiss delights to global flavours, including Swiss chocolates from the renowned Auer Chocolatier, savoury cheese fondues at the historic Café du Soleil, and international culinary fusions at the Michelin-starred restaurant, Rasoi by Vineet.

Winter and Summer are the best time to visit. Winter provides arguably the best scenic pictures, world-class skiing, and unique winter experiences. Summer provides some of the best hiking, and comfortable summer temperatures for touring.

Kimberly Brown from Goway Travel made my trip to Australia & New Zealand a very memorable and remarkable experience. Every step and detail was fantastic and I will never forget the trip of a lifetime and it was because of the experience of Kimberly. If you are thinking about taking a trip to New Zealand and Australia, I highly recommend contacting Kimberly from Goway travel. David Klein

We had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthy

Elise created a fantastic trip to South Africa. Our experience could not have been better. Thank You so Much!!Dave McVay

Our trip to Japan was great. All our Goway arrangements preformed like clockwork and the guides for the tours were wonderful. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was in total fog but at least the lunch was very good and so was the drum solo, also our tour guide kept our spirits up ( she was the best). Taryn picked hotels that were very convenient to the meeting point of our tours which was much appreciated and organized all aspects of our trip perfectly. So from our airport pickup to our last day in Tokyo everything ran very smoothly so we have used Goway before and will certainly use it again and reccommend Goway to others.JW

We have used Goway Travel for previous trips and have been very happy with their excellent service. Our last trip to New Zealand and Australia was no exception. Our agent, Lori Mazzono, got tuned into the sort of trip we were hoping to have immediately. The various booking she provided were, without exception, exceptional and exactly what we envisioned, We really don't think we would have changed anything. tBruce Belshaw
