Chez Ma Cousine
‘On y mange du poulet’ (we eat chicken) is the strapline of this student institution, which appeals for one good reason – generously handsome and homely portions of chicken, potatoes and salad at a price that can’t possibly break the bank.

Colour-coded Walks
City planners have come up with nine thematic, colour-coded walks to steer pedestrians off the tourist track. Cedar trees, the comic Smurf-inspired Schtroumpfs architectural ensemble, Geneva's first reinforced-concrete housing estate and the romantic Bout de Monde (End of the World) are unexpected sights. Walks last two to four hours.

Musée International de la Croix Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge
Compelling multimedia exhibits at the Musée International de la Croix Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge trawl through atrocities perpetuated by humanity. Against the long litany of war and nastiness, documented in films, photos, sculptures and soundtracks, are set the noble aims of the organisation created by Geneva businessmen and philanthropists Henri Dunant and Henri Dufour in 1864. Take bus 8 from Gare de Cornavin to ‘Appia’ stop.

Jardin Anglais
Jardin Anglais is Geneva’s flowery lakeside garden, landscaped in 1854 on the site of an old lumber-handling port and merchant yard. Geneva’s most photographed clock, crafted from 6500 living flowers, has ticked since 1955 and boasts the world’s longest second hand (2.5m).
