We are waiting for a walk around the city, acquaintance with the history of Geneva, which goes back to the distant past. Our tour will begin at the monument to the Duke of Brunswick, who bequeathed his vast fortune to Geneva in exchange for a beautiful funeral and a monument to his name.
Then head to the lake, at the corner of the Mont Blanc Bridge and Berg Embankment. The Mont-Blanc Bridge is thrown over the Rhône River, which divides Geneva into 2 parts: on the left bank there is the historical center of the city with St. Peter’s Cathedral and the Town Hall, on the right bank there is the Palace of Nations, the International Quarter and the Cornaven railway station.
