Located in Geneva, the Jet d'Eau is the tallest water fountain in the world. At 140 meters, this spectacular sight is the hallmark of the city and one of the most famous Swiss attractions. It is even more beautiful at night when it is drenched in lights.

The Jet d'Eau first became a famous landmark in 1891. As long as the wind is somewhat calm, the fountain is on every day from March to October, from 9:30 am to 11:15 pm. The fountain launches 500 liters of water per second at 200 kilometers per hour. The Jet d'Eau is a must-see for tourists.
