Swtizerland - Geneva

Geneva is one of the major cities of Switzerland, its located in French speaking part of the country.
The iconic water fountain of Geneva.



Firstly a tip : in Italy and Germany Geneva is called somehow differently, its called Genf,
so when buying a ticket please emphasis the name otherwise they will give you a ticket to Genova.

Geneva is located next to picturesque similarly named lake Geneva

On the border there is a huge facility for Particle Accelerator called CERN
