Geneva is a lovely city, located on the edge of Lake Geneva. Although not overly lively, and with a reputation for being expensive, it still draws many tourists and has plenty of interesting attractions. The city is located around the southeast end of Lake Geneva (Lac Leman), and the old town sits atop a hill, presiding over the Rhone River. It’s a collection of cobbled lanes clustered around the imposing Cathedral St Pierre, with its Romanesque and Baroque styles. The nearby Place du Bourg-de-Four is the oldest square in Geneva and was once a Roman forum, but has evolved into a marketplace. Obtain car hire from Geneva and experience the freedom. Stop and take photos in your own time, avoid large groups on day excusions and enjoy the sites in piece and quiet.

Geneva boasts a number of good museums, including the Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum, critically acclaimed Museum of Art and History, Horology (clocks) Museum, and Voltaire Museum. The Petit Palais is also worth visiting.

Boat trips are also a popular way to admire the Alps across the water. Getting to see all of these wonderful sites and attractions will be easiest with a hire car so make sure you reserve cheap Geneva car hire here today and save loads on your holiday.
