Neighborhoods in Geneva

Geneva's Old Town (Vieille Ville) perches on a hill above the Rhône and preserves a dense warren of medieval and Renaissance streets, antiquarian bookshops, art galleries, and hidden courtyards.

Carouge is a bohemian quarter just south of the Arve river, originally built by the King of Sardinia as a rival to Geneva. Its Mediterranean grid plan, artisan workshops, and café culture give it a distinctly Italian feel.

Eaux-Vives is a residential-turned-trendy neighbourhood on the lake's south shore, anchored by the recently redeveloped Plage des Eaux-Vives park and marina.

Pâquis is Geneva's most cosmopolitan and diverse neighbourhood, stretching from the Gare Cornavin to the lake. Its streets are packed with restaurants serving cuisines from every continent.
