Review:

During your exploration of Geneva’s Old Town you should make a point to visit the charming Place du Bourg-de-Four (meaning “Outside Village). This pleasant square was originally situated outside the Old Town walls and was used as a cattle market. Today you can enjoy strolling through the square which is a popular shopping area featuring fountains, coffee shops, restaurants and high-end boutiques. Perhaps you can enjoy a coffee or drink at one of the pavement cafes while enjoying the particular ambiance found only in the Old Town. Interestingly, you can find a long and narrow flight of 67 stairs which will lead you up to St. Peter’s Cathedral.
