This post marks the first of a series of posts on Geneva which will be introduced to you in a bite size manner. Geneva, Switzerland's third largest city, is often mistaken as the Swiss capital. Any one has any idea what is the name of Swiss capital city? If you are thinking Zurich, you are equally wrong. Think Bern instead. Just 2hours from the French border, Geneva is made up of a french speaking community. But English is good enough ticket to help you find your way around this this safe, clean and cosmopolitan city. Probably the most global city in the world it is the headquarters for many multinational companies and many United Nations agencies.
The Geneva waterfront is probably the highlight of the city. The 140m iconic Jet d'Eau is the world's tallest fountain; shooting water upwards at a speed of 200km/h (just about as fast as your Ferrari can go). Initially used as a safety valve for a hydro power generator, it has now become the city's landmark.
