Home » Switzerland » Switzerland: Major Cities and Regions » GenevaGeneva is known as the Capital of Peace, since the European headquarters of the United Nations is located there. But, it is also known as The World's Smallest Metropolis, due to the fact that it is a somewhat cosmopolitan area that is slightly set apart from the rest of Switzerland. Shopping, quiet strolls in the park, lakeside promenades, boat trips, and unspoiled scenery are all enjoyed here, as well as mansions, quaint villages, and vineyards.
Cultural outings such as theater, museums, opera, ballet, cinema, concerts, and cabarets are all present in Geneva, and for nature lovers there is Lake Geneva, exquisite in every season of the year. Tourists come here to ski, enjoy other winter sports, explore the city, relax in the country, and enjoy delicious meals. Geneva is a delightful blend of the country and the city, the elegant and the rustic. Geneva has something for everyone.
