Review:
Probably the most recognizable Geneva landmark, the Jet d'Eau is an enormous fountain located at the end of the Pier des Eaux-vives, in the heart of the harbor. The very impressive jet of water is created by two powerful pumps which propel a staggering 500 liters of water per second over 450-feet into the air. The Jet d’Eau is one of the world’s tallest fountains and can be admired from several prominent city viewpoints including the top of St. Peter’s Cathedral, the Paquis Bath and the Gustav-Ador Quay (if you do not mind the possibility of a soaking). From April to September the fountain is illuminated at night.
Jet d’Eau, Quai Gustave-Ador, 1207 Geneva
