Geneva underground

Where to go out?

  • Check out this calendar for info about gigs, parties, exhibitions and other.
  • L'Usine is the central point of Geneva's underground night life, with plenty of concerts, movies and theater plays. Check out their agenda. But that is likely to be your #1 go-to destination anyway.
  • For those around the weekend before the conference, there is a free outdoor jazz festival organised by the main Geneva Jazz Club (AMR) in the Parc des Cropettes (by the central Cornavin train station). Nice place to chill with a drink!

Where to swim?

Where to rent a bike?

Cycling is the preferred way to commute around Geneva. You have two options:

What to see and do?

  • The botanical garden is always worth a detour. You can also take the opportunity to walk along the lake on the Quai Wilson.
  • Tired of the city? You can take the cable car to the Salève - i.e. the closest mountain.
  • If you want to elevate yourself without going to the Salève, you can also visit the Saint-Pierre Cathedral in the Old Town, where you can reach higher horizons both spiritually and physically (that is, you can climb it).
  • Interested in the geology of Geneva? Check out this guide!

Public transportations

Your IAVCEI SA registration gives you access to public transportations.

  • TPG: Public transportations in Geneva, they also have an app.
  • Mouettes: Literally "sea gulls", this is a boat service that is included in Geneva's public transportation service. It's a nice experience to chill on the lake.
