Car Rentals in Geneva

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.
