Overview

Geneva is known by physicists the world over for its ground-breaking and respected scientific centre, CERN, but that’s not all it’s famous for.  It’s an international hub where many global organisations are based, it’s surrounded by beautiful landscapes, and, of course, it has some great Swiss food as well!

Many schools love to visit the striking European headquarters of the United Nations, which offers tours to discover the UN's global and historical significance.  You can catch breathtaking views of Lake Geneva from the top of Mont Salève.  You can also visit Swiss food manufacturers and have fun sampling the local flavours!
