Geneva is the 2nd most populous city in Switzerland with an estimated population of 186.000 residents. Geneva is located where Lake Geneva meets the Rhone River. In the 16th century Geneva was home to Calvinism with St. Peter’s Church acting as John Calvin’s own church. Geneva was the site of the 4 Geneva Conventions held between 1864-1949, and is home to several international organizations, including the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Geneva is a very clean city, and there are some interesting things to see. However, I failed to be impressed by it, and I honestly can't quite put a finger on why. Maybe it's the way the downtown is dominated by banks, watch stores and Swiss Army knife stores. Or maybe it's that I expect better public transportation from European cities. Or maybe it's just that the only reason I was there (and why I'm probably going again this summer) was for research purposes. But I just didn't like it as much as everyone claimed I would.

Visited Geneva and Montreux recently. To put it in words of Herge', the Belgian cartoonist (of Tintin fame), it is probably the most beautiful, precise, organized and above all, cleanest place in the world. Certainly the place to go if one wants peace of mind in a serene location. Do visit the nearby Chateaux de Chillon by Lake Geneva if you happen to be there.

I only spent a day there so I can't give what might be considered a very extensive assessement of Geneva but from what I saw it was okay. I didn't walk out of the train station and go WOW!! amazing... but it was very pretty, clean, not too crowded etc. They had a couple of nice grassy areas that I saw as well as the lake, and we went to a couple of interesting museums...the Cathedral up on the hilltop was pretty cool (go all the way to the belltower and there is a toilet up there that is no longer is use but it has the most amazing view of the city, just this little tiny closet size room hovering on the very rim of this cathedral overlooking Geneva, that was pretty amazing) but if you want to see a very pretty town in Switzerland go to Fribourg, very nice very old, very attractive.
