10 Things to do in Bourg-de-Four That You Shouldn't Miss

December 14, 2021 Mollie Coke

The shores of Lake Geneva have attracted visitors and invaders for millennia. The cheerful city of Geneva sits on the lake's western shore, lofty snowcapped peaks creating a gorgeous backdrop on all sides. The city is perfect for exploring on foot; rent a bike to venture further. The top of any itinerary should be visits to Geneva's lakefront and its famed water fountain, the Flower Clock in the English Garden, St. Peter's Cathedral, Reformation Wall, Place Neuve and the birthplace of the U.N.

This day spa provides the nicest urban getaway in the heart of Geneva. It is in a convenient location, the staff is friendly - both English and French are spoken - and its oasis of treatments that are the ultimate in self care. I had the deep tissue/sports massage and the therapist was very attentive to the tense parts of the body - providing a good balance between pressure and therapeutic massage. I will definitely return!

Musee D'Art Et D'Histoire

Built between 1903 and 1910 by Genevan architect Marc Camoletti, with the aim of regrouping under one roof a number of dispersed public collections, the Musée d'art et d'histoire is one of Switzerland's most important encyclopaedic museums. Boasting over half a million objects including a number of major works and unique series that have made it an institution of international stature, the museum maintains a permanent exhibition of a selection of itsapplied arts, fine arts and archaeology collections. Regional archaeological discoveries, Egyptian and Classical antiquities, artworks, furniture, arms, musical instruments, paintings and sculptures all bear witness to 15,000 years of history. A renovation and enlargement project is currently underway and constitutes one of the major challenges facing the Museum over the coming years.

This museum is located in the Old Town, with free admissions. Its collection of Swiss paintings is very nice, especially those by Ferdinand Hodler Wolfgang-Adam Töpffer. The building is impressive, too.

Place Bourg du Four

This historic town square is situated at the heart of Old Geneva.

Reviewed By greekcypriot2009 - Athens, Greece

The cosmopolitan City of Geneva has a well preserved picturesque old town testimony to its 2,000-year-old history. By stepping onto the cobbled stone streets we were kind of instantly transported back in time. After the stop we had at the 12th-century St Pierre Cathedral with its lofty neoclassical façade features of several architectural styles, we wandered through the labyrinthine paved streets. We visited the Art and History Museum and Maison Travel, the oldest house in the city. The cobblestone alleys of old town wind through lovely buildings that exude old world charm. The alleys are lined with many art galleries, bookshops, antique shops, museums, cafes, and restaurants. Through our stroll around the old town, we explored squares dotted with enchanting fountains, windows overflowing with vibrant blossoms, intricate designs and ornamentations on the lofty wooden doors and the signboards of the cafes.

Cathedrale de Saint-Pierre

This famous cathedral is best known for its historic significance as the church where John Calvin gave his inspiring sermons during the mid-16th century.

Reviewed By annettestretton - Skelmersdale, United Kingdom

We paid 5EUR each to get to the top of the tower. There aren’t too many steps and the views are 360 degrees of Geneva. Beautiful views and worth the climb. It was a hot day when we visited but the climb up was cool within the stone of the cathedral. Spiral steps and quite enclosed on the way up but not too strenuous.
