Geneva is a quiet kind of place.
Surrounded by mountains and valleys, the air is crisp and clean-completely unlike all other major cities.
Geneva boarders a lake whose water is so clear it appears shimmery and blue-green. With such beauty at its center it is no wonder locals and tourists alike flock to it.
Life in Geneva seems to revolve around the lake, a calm, relaxed and beautiful core for their lives.
Having only stayed two nights in Geneva, I can say little to the culture. The people are simply kind and helpful and go about their day not minding the tourists who seem to adopt the laided back atmosphere while in Geneva.
Even the older parts of the city, with its unique arcitecture mimicing the craigs comforting the country, seems relaxed.
Staying in such a calm and collective city, even if only for two nights, helped to break the stress of constantly moving between cities, changing trains and hopping metros.
Geneva slows you down and offers a slight repreave from the chaos of traveling in foreign countries. As is their standby, everything is safe in Switzerland-even the contents of the hostel fridge.
In addition Swiss chocolate is in abundance and a delight-some are even in the shape of Swiss army knives.
Plus I have never seen so many watch shops on one block in my life!
