Steamer rides on Lake Geneva also remain exceptionally popular with tourists, but not everyone can afford such an expensive entertainment. Budget travelers have found a worthy alternative to the pricey water excursions – they prefer to make rides on small cutters. These cutters are a part of the city water transport system, so the ticket price is relatively low. The boats operate in a loop on different routes, and the M1 – M2 – M4 route is considered one of the best for those who want to admire the beauty of Lake Geneva. Owners of public transport passes can use these boats free of charge.
If you prefer to make a walk on Geneva streets, watch your steps. That’s not because roads in the city are of a poor quality. Pavements are straight and awesome in Geneva and are paved with unusual tiles. Some tiles have illumination, thanks to which people can see inscriptions written on them. The inscriptions are made in different languages of the world, so travelers from English speaking countries, Russian tourists, and even visitors from distant China will find it equally interesting to walk on such pavements. Many inscriptions are very symbolic and promising. For example, if you step on a tile with the writing “Date”, that means the evening will be a romantic one.
One is able not only to walk but literally to fly in Geneva. The means – an aerostat or a helicopter – is up to you. Flying over Lake Geneva and snow-capped mountains will surely leave many amazing impressions, especially for true fans of extreme and unusual entertainment.
