Top 10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Geneva, Canton of Geneva
The shores of Lake Geneva have attracted visitors and invaders for millennia. The cheerful city of Geneva sits on the lake's western shore, lofty snowcapped peaks creating a gorgeous backdrop on all sides. The city is perfect for exploring on foot; rent a bike to venture further. The top of any itinerary should be visits to Geneva's lakefront and its famed water fountain, the Flower Clock in the English Garden, St. Peter's Cathedral, Reformation Wall, Place Neuve and the birthplace of the U.N.

2. Parapark Geneve Escape Game
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 230 reviews
Parapark escape the room game is a fun, interactive game located in the heart of Geneva. The rooms might look ordinary but do not let the first impression fool you, everything is part of a mystery puzzle. Will you and your team find all the clues, solve all the enigmas and escape within 60 minutes? Our quests are exciting adventures that challenge each individual, but are designed in such a way that you must cooperate with your teammates to escape. Games are for groups of 2 to 5 people. The game itself takes maximum 60 minutes, but since we are also big fans of enigmas, we hope you will stay a little longer to play with some of our minigames or brainteasers. Online reservation is required prior to the game and only cash payment is possible.

Excellent experience!!! I've done a few Escape Rooms and this was by far the best experience I've ever had doing one. The owner and host of the room obviously loves what he does and his enthusiasm is contagious and he creates the perfect atmosphere for people to engage and enjoy the experience. He has several different rooms and would recommend it to anyone from first timers to advanced enthusiasts. I'm looking forward to going back and trying out the other rooms. Thank you Parapark.

Did the voodoo room and without a doubt the best escape room we have ever done. Be warned, it’s really difficult... It spreads over a couple of rooms and the gadgets were really well planned and unique. We didn’t escape but loved every moment!!

Went to the Van Gogh escape room for my daughter’s 10th birthday with 4 of her friends. Everyone had a really good time. It’s very well organized and the person running it was really nice, helpful and encouraging. The room’s difficult - even with quite a lot of clues we didn’t manage to compete the task, though we got close! The clue’s were very good, we should just have asked for more and earlier with the kids. The girls all had a great time and were super-engaged, the hour flew by. Would be great for teenagers or adults too. Highly recommend!

An internationally renowned collection of Chinese and Japanese artwork.

If you love porcelain, rock crystal and small decorative objects like me, then you will love The Bauer. Tucked away in a rarified neighborhood, this former townhouse cum museum is a very quiet space to see some prime examples of Chinese and Japanese decorative objects. No photos permitted but very scholarly with knowledgable staff.

A lovely park & a great way to spend an afternoon during the summer. My interest was the famous tennis Club, where I visited back in 1984. Still there but cannot enter. There is a Hotel/restaurant in the Park too. To get back to the town, walk further up & take the Bavette- fantastic1

The modern museum is well organised and easy to use iPad are offered in various languages to aid navigation around the exhibition. Although heavily weighing on the Brothers Grimm stories it's still a learning experience well presented and with fun dressing up stuff for the kids. Some good video footage too from the 1930s and we learnt about using these tales for propaganda too. The permanent exhibition is well worth spending some time on. There are cloakrooms, toilets, lifts and a pleasant coffee shop.
