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.

Nothing extraordinary, but it is a landmark in the city. Saw it along with floral clock which is close to this. On a hot day, it felt good to stand next to it.

One of the best known attractions can be seen from everywhere but it's worth a close to get a little wet, see the rainbow & the shorelines through the mist.

True force, and when nature comes in - beyond description.

It was a beautiful day, so the fountain looked amazing against the Geneva city backdrop. Snow capped mountains added to the drama. Absolutely worth a visit. If the weather is fine, consider taking a picnic and enjoy the views from one of the many benches lining the road adjacent to the lake (don't forget to use the bins provided). 🙂
