| There is a also the Musee d'Art et Histoire (Art & History Museum) on the edge of Old Town. Several tram and bus lines stop there. |

The Swiss government (?) started a train service also between Geneva and Annecy, but it takes a very circuitous route and thus almost an hour and a half. https://www.lemanexpress.com/en/ The bus is likely faster assuming normal traffic- around an hour. |

| You could take a shuttle up to Chamonix (it's only 45 minutes from the airport) and stay in a lovely spa type hotel for two nights. The town has lots of cute shops. You could ski if you wanted to unless it's too early season. Take the Aguille du Midi cable car up for a view of Mont Blanc. It's really easy from the airport. |

| I agree with all the previous posters. Plan to get out of Geneva. It’s boring. Last time I was there I went to Yvoire. But recommend chamonix and annecy first. |

| came searching for things to day in Geneva for 1.5 days before a flight home after a week skiing. Hopefully everyone will be exhausted because there doesn't look like too much to do in Geneva. Looking forward to good fondue and chocolate |

I just returned from Geneva, as part of a 2 week trip across a few counties. Been to Geneva before, it's not that interesting TBH, and not much to do but I like flying out of GVA as there's a nonstop to IAD and the airport is nice, quick to get through security and all that.
I've been to Yvorie in the summer. It's okay, I'd recommend Annecy or Chamoix (but I haven't been to either as of yet). We did a day trip to Montreux and visited the Chillon Castle, which was beautiful. Otherwise, I just use Geneva as a way to go home! |

this - I'm sort of regretting adding a day in Geneva for "recovery" from snowboarding before we head back home. |
