Geneva Hotels with Outdoor Pool

Geneva is not very popular with tourists, because it has the reputation of a boring, unattractive and too traditional city, but in reality the things are absolutely different. Geneva can boast of a splendid location on the bank of Lake Geneva, narrow streets near Bourg-de-Four Square, where you can spend hours walking, historical buildings (among them the Museum of Modern Art), a large number of wonderful parks, good restaurants, bars and night clubs.

Saint Pierre's Cathedral. Saint Pierre's Cathedral is situated at a height of 404m above the sea level (it's the highest place in the ancient part of the city), where by one of the versions the Roman temple used to be located. Starting with the 4th – 6th centuries small Christian basilisk started to appear there. During one of the greatest archeological dig under the cathedral they found the remains of the previous temples, the baptismal chapel of the 4th century and the mosaics of the 5th century. Saint Pierre's Cathedral was built in 1150-1232 in the Roman style with gothic elements. Its capitals were made in the style of late Romanism and early Gothic.
