Well-known as a convenient starting point for holidays in Switzerland, particularly in the winter ski season, Geneva is a place which has a lot to offer in its own right as well. From excellent shopping to beautiful lakeside eateries, there is more than enough to keep you occupied for a weekend break here.

Those who think of Switzerland as a winter destination, with its extensive winter sports and beautiful snow-covered landscape, are missing out. In the summer, the country and its most famous lake city come alive in the warm sunshine with outdoor markets to explore, restaurant terraces with lake views to enjoy, and, not to mention, the possibility of simply strolling around this beautiful city in the warm summer sunshine.

Still not convinced that Geneva is anything more than a starting point? Here’s a potential itinerary for a weekend summer getaway to help you visualise your lakeside break.
