Review:

No visit to Geneva could be considered complete without visiting the delightful Old Town Geneva, called Vieille Ville in French. Here you can spend a few happy hours exploring narrow cobbles streets on foot to discover several museums and historic buildings with wonderful ancient stone facades. Some of the highlights of the Old Town include Maison Tavel, Place du Bourg-du-Four, Saint Peter’s Cathedral and the lovely Treille Promenade which overlooks the Bastions Park. There are also many restaurants, cafes and squares hidden away in the maze of little passages. Reaching the Old Town, which is located in an elevated part of the city, requires a reasonably steep walk, which is probably why you will find the world’s longest wooden bench (121 meters long) situated on the Promenade. Here you can sit down, relax and soak up the Old Town atmosphere, surrounded by outstanding views.
