The canton of Geneva is the westernmost canton of Switzerland, surrounded almost completely by France. Geneva is a very international city given that many UN agencies and the International committee of the Red Cross are located here. A swim in or a boat ride on the crystal-clear lake with a view of the Mont Blanc, world-class shopping and exotic culinary experiences are just some of the many activities you can do in Geneva.
