Travel Guide > Europe > Switzerland > Geneva
Geneva is a hub of NGOs and the United Nations, but it's just as interesting for travellers as it is for diplomats. Set in the far southwest corner of Switzerland, Geneva is within easy distance of the Alps. The city itself offers a range of unique attractions, from the lake that feeds the Rhine River to the Jet d'Eau, the world's tallest water fountain.
Geneva is Switzerland's second-largest city in terms of population.
Jet d'Eau is an impressive water fountain pumping water 140 metres high. It's a free attraction that is open from 10am to 11pm every day, year-round. It is also one of the city's most photographed sights.
