Car Rental Geneva - Exploring Geneva

Geneva sits among some of Europe’s prettiest scenery, with Lake Geneva, the Jura and Alps all within a day’s drive. It doesn’t take much time to escape the city and found yourself among hills and meadows of edelweiss, and the drive along the lake is lovely.

CERN, is a must see for science boffins. It’s the European Organization for Nuclear Research. In addition to being the birthplace of the worldwide web, it features a 27km circular particle accelerator, and the world’s largest magnet.

At the other end of the lake, Chillon Castle receives more visitors than any other historical building in Switzerland, due to its stunning lakeside location and well preserved 11th century ramparts, tower, courtyards, dungeons and numerous rooms. The castle is located within walking distance of Montreux, the centrepiece of the Swiss Riviera and famous for its annual jazz festival.

Lausanne enjoys a lovely setting on the shoreline of the lake, and has a thriving arts scene and laid back atmosphere. It has attracted famous writers and philosophers for more than a century and is now famous for hosting the International Olympic Committee.
