Enjoying Geneva - Leisure and Activities

 

 

Geneva is one of the most culturally diverse cities in Europe. From museums to free open air music festivals, from hiking in the Alps to sunbathing on the lake shores, Geneva is a great place to study in the summer time!



The lakeside, with its little bars and restaurants open late into the night,  is a lovely place to go for a walk and observe the city. There is a young and vibrant atmosphere on the lake front as well as in the public parks, where concerts and other events take place every day.

A list of the events taking place during the programme will be provided to participants as the season approaches.
