Geneva Classics

Visiting for the first time? A quick guide to the city’s top attractions.

Discover the most beautiful rose garden in Geneva.

The Parc de la Grange is one of Geneva’s lakeside parks where you can relax without leaving the city. The park is the legacy of the Favre family in Geneva who gifted it to the city in 1918. 

Its magnificent three-acre rose garden has more than 200 varieties of roses! A manor house with fountains and beautiful flower gardens dominates the gentle slope leading to the lake. All summer long, the Théâtre de Verdure offers free concerts for all.

A ‘living museum’ in the international district. The largest public botanical garden in Switzerland.

Geneva’s first botanical gardens were created in 1817 as an expression of the then prevailing naturalist trend. Today, the Botanical Gardens and Conservatory occupy roughly 28 hectares. The garden’s herbarium – one of the world’s largest – has six million samples. The gardens invite you on a journey into the botanical world.
