A standout among the city's modern landmarks, the monumental The Geneva Water Fountain has served as one of the city's crowning symbols for over six decades. One of the largest fountains in the world, the structure pumps about 500 l (130 gal) of water each second, its misty plumes reaching a height of over 140 m (450 ft). Most sightseers choose to appreciate the structure from a distance, but if you do not mind a little spray on your clothes, you can inspect it at close range by standing on a pier, accessible from the left bank of the lake.

This is the famous fountain that is such an icon for Geneva. Granted that it in itself is not special but for some reason it is a very scenic water feature. It is turned off at night so very environmentally conscious! You cannot miss seeing this feature from any part of the lakeshore/lakeside areas but some spots allow for better picture taking capabilities.

We really liked Geneva. I wish we had more time to visit. We had a lovely day around the lake and fountain. The city is very clean and organized. Parking is plentiful just follow the signs. They even tell you how many spots are available in each area.
