Enjoy relaxed lakefront strolls, cosy bistro dining and Mont Blanc views on Geneva city breaks.

Geneva sits right on the southern tip of Lake Geneva below the French Alps. The Jet d'Eau fountain and Floral Clock huddle on the left bank, while just south the Old Town's cobbled streets twist up to hilltop St Peter's Cathedral. On the right bank, lakefront gardens lead to the UN headquarters.

Best of Geneva city breaks for...

• Families: Take the kids across Lake Geneva aboard a yellow mouette (seagull) to play in the misty spray of the huge Jet'd'Eau fountain. It spurts 500 litres of water a second!
• Relaxing: Chill out in lakefront parks, dotted with flowers, villas and fountains. Have your camera handy for the sun setting behind the snowy peak of Mont Blanc.
• Romance: In the mood for amour? Stroll the Old Town's lantern-lit lanes to find a bistro. Dine by candlelight on Swiss-French classics like cheese fondue, and sip local Chasselas wines.
