When travellers think of Geneva, they often conjure images of iconic landmarks and experiences such as the Jet d’Eau, the United Nations headquarters, luxurious 5-star hotels, the city’s renowned watch-making heritage, and exclusive shopping experiences. While these attractions are undeniably alluring, Geneva has much more to offer than meets the eye.
Launching “Unexpected Geneva,” the city invites travellers on a discovery journey, showcasing the city’s hidden treasures and surprising experiences that lie beyond its well-known attractions. The campaign ingeniously leverages its main features to unveil a whole new facet of Geneva that is bound to captivate visitors.

As the summer season unfolds, Geneva comes alive with a plethora of outdoor events and festive gatherings. From exploring the Archaeological Site of Saint-Pierre Cathedral and cycling through the picturesque Geneva vineyards to experiencing vibrant street art aboard an E-tuktuk and enjoying paddle boating and swimming in Europe’s largest alpine lake with the awe-inspiring backdrop of Mont-Blanc, Geneva’s surprises are limitless.
