Geneva
The city of Geneva can certainly be described as the pearl of Lake Geneva. Located on the French side of the lake, Geneva has not only made a name for itself as the seat of the United Nations, but has also become increasingly popular as a vacation destination. Geneva is incredibly versatile and on the shores of Europe's largest lake an incredibly attractive starting point for various types of vacation. Geneva is not only dynamic and sporty on the shores of Lake Geneva. Almost all sports can be practiced between the mountains and lakes. But holidaymakers are also drawn to the cities for shopping and exploring.
