“Landmark of Geneva city”

Jet d'Eau, the Rade (visible from most of the Lac Léman waterfront) is the highlighted landmark of Geneva. The monumental Jet d'Eau is a fountain of water pumped 140 meters into the air. The spectacular plume was once an occasional pressure release for hydro-power generation on the Rhône River, but people liked it so much that in 1891 the city created a permanent pumped fountain.

It's beautifully lit at night. Best viewed from a distance — the surrounding half kilometer is soaked with water. However, the more adventurous might want to try the pathway leading right up to the Jet d'eau -- prepare to get enjoyably wet! Free.


Time to be on: daily 10 AM-11 PM.

Bains des Pâquis is a place of relaxation for the sunlovers, situated in the middle of the Rade. Bains des Pâquis attracts the local inhabitants throughout the year.

Soak up the sun in summer and enjoy refreshing daily specials from the bar. In winter, relax in the sauna while admiring the magnificent view.

Fondue lovers come here to relax and admire the lights of Geneva shining on the water. The hamam and Turkish baths are the ideal place to unwind throughout the year. Both a socialising and cultural venue, the Bains des Pâquis is suited to a range of activities. More than just a beach, it is a must-see during your stay in Geneva.

Here is Jet d'Eau in Geneva Lake, the highest fountain in West Europe or the 2nd highest in Europe after the highest one in Hungary.

Notice the fountain, so you will get on the right way to the pier about 15-20 mins from the train station by walking.
