The Jet d'Eau propels 500 litres of water per second to a height of 140 metres, making it one of the tallest fountains in the world. Created in 1886 as a hydraulic safety valve, it has become the symbol of Geneva. Visible for kilometres, it illuminates Lake Geneva each evening with powerful floodlights.

The Palace of Nations, built between 1929 and 1938, is the European headquarters of the United Nations and the second-largest UN complex after New York. It hosts over 10,000 meetings annually and houses a library of 1 million volumes. Its 46-hectare Ariana Park offers a spectacular view of Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc.

St. Pierre Cathedral
46.2044°N, 6.1432°E
St. Pierre Cathedral, built between 1160 and 1252, is a remarkable blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and neoclassical styles. John Calvin preached the Reformation here from 1536, making Geneva the 'Protestant Rome'. From its towers, accessible via 157 steps, one enjoys a unique panorama of the old town, the lake, and the Alps.

The map of Geneva
At 46° north latitude on the shores of Lake Geneva, the city spreads from the southwestern tip of the lake where the Rhone exits. The hilltop Old Town overlooks an elegant network of lakeside quays and parks. The street plan reflects the city's international character, with the international organisation district to the north and the Rive shopping streets to the south. The Jet d'Eau and the Mont-Blanc bridge mark the central axis of a map with remarkable aquatic geometry.
