A nice place to stay really, one that is quiet. I have looked online and found quite a few hotels that looked ok but when I read the reviews some seemed to be in the red light district and very noisy, others were based near the airport. Do you know how far that is to the city centre and what the transport is like? Title: Re: Has anyone been to Geneva?

I was put up at http://www.venere.com/swiss-quality-hotels/geneva/hotel-sagitta/ walking distance from the old town and the lake and very quiet No idea about cost or availability Title: Re: Has anyone been to Geneva?

Do you remember how much in a taxi from the airport to that part of town? Title: Re: Has anyone been to Geneva?

Post by: TightEnd on February 13, 2012, 04:24:58 PM The old town is the part of Geneva furthest away from the airport. Rough memory is 30-35 Euros, as of a few years ago
You definitely want the old town, climbing up the hill away from the lake. Attractive, quiet, nice shops etc The newer side with the train station is more commercial, office blocks, modern, bustling etc...to be avoided as a base venue Title: Re: Has anyone been to Geneva?

I see Servette are at home to Grasshoppers on Sunday too so that might swing it ;o) Title: Re: Has anyone been to Geneva?
