Old Town and Jet d’Eau

The old town of Geneva is the most suitable place to start exploring. The old town, where St. Pierre Cathedral is located, is also important as the place where the reformer Calvin lived. You can visit the North Castle and Maison Tavel. For coffee, you can go to Place du Bourg De Four. You can visit the Jet d’Eau, the giant water pump 140 meters high, which has become the symbol of the city, and see the clock made of flowers called L’Horloge Fleurie in Jardin Anglais. The colorful district of the city, Les Grottes, may attract your attention with its interesting structures. When you go to the Carouge district, you can find two or three-story houses and small shops. It can be good for you as it is different from the general atmosphere of the city.
