One of Western Europe's largest bodies of water, Lake Geneva sits on the northern side of the Alps. Shared by Switzerland and France, the lake serves as one of the continent's most popular year-round travel destinations, its pristine natural areas a favorite stomping ground for both hikers and skiers. The Swiss side of the lake features a string of picturesque cities, the largest of which is Geneva. This city serves as a hub for paddle steamer cruises, providing a slow but scenic way of connecting to other ports on the lake. After visiting the region's old wineries, castles, and thermal baths, head to one of the lake's tranquil beaches, backed by rugged mountain scenery and shady woodlands.

Love this short cruise around Lake Geneva, the quietness of the boat, the captain and the wine and appetizers offered.

Took a 1 hour tour from Lake Geneva to Mont Blanc and back during the summer of 2022. Such a serene, relaxing 1 hour boat ride with amazing views.

Beautiful place to spend time, relax, swim, walk or take a boat ride. If you are a tourist you will get free Geneva transport pass from your hotel. Yellow boats are included in your pass. Otherwise you can take the flashy electric toy train around the lake
