Book Geneva hotels

If “work hard, play hard” is your motto, you’ll love Geneva, Switzerland. With three official languages, hundreds of international organisations and an important place in history (Geneva Conventions, anyone?), this city on a lake knows how to holiday like a boss. If that sounds good to you, Wotif’s Geneva holiday packages are ready to treat you to a getaway that’s part sophistication, part history and totally legendary.

Things to Do in Geneva

For weird and wonderful museums, Geneva hotels are definitely the right choice. The Natural History Museum is Switzerland’s largest and filled with oddities, from a two-headed turtle to taxidermied dodo birds to moon stones. Ever seen a 3.2 million-year-old…well, anything? Pay a visit to Lucy, the world’s oldest known human fossil.

Fans of history, poetry or just rebellious authors will love the Institut et Musee Voltaire. The portrait gallery reads like the guest list of an exclusive club, and in Voltaire’s library, you’ll wish you had a roaring fire and a glass of whiskey. If you fall in love, you can always pay a visit to his hometown with our accommodation in Paris, just an hour’s flight north.

Getting To & Around Geneva

Geneva Airport (GVA)—or Geneve Aeroport if you want to practice the language—is just 6 km outside the city centre, and you can easily take the train to the main station downtown. You’ve got tons of other options too: Geneva has excellent bus and tram systems, plus plenty of cabs. Once you’ve dropped your bags at your Geneva accommodation though, rent a bike and see the city on two wheels to blend right in with the locals.

You’ve got the “work hard” part taken care of, and now it’s time to plan out where to play. Voltaire said “Common sense is not so common”. Prove him wrong by being the smartest traveller around and booking hotels in Geneva on lastminute.co.nz.
