3
Cathedrale Saint Pierre

Stand before the temple of Calvin, a Gothic core wearing a neoclassical mask — the church that Reformation zealots stripped clean before Calvin even arrived.

The Molard Tower

Walk past the medieval harbor watchtower now wedged between boutiques — once guarding smugglers, now guarding a wine bar.

Stop on the bridge for Geneva’s Alpine postcard: flags flapping, Mont Blanc peeking over the water, and the Rhône racing beneath your feet.

Duration 12 minutes
7

Stroll the lakeside garden where Geneva traded cannons for camellias — and built a 6,500-plant clock because timekeeping is a national sport.
