I spent a summer in Geneva with my family when I was a kid. So many great memories from that summer (like getting my first passport!). This reminds me how much I've been wanting to go back and see what it's like as an adult. Carouge looks especially nice!

This is a really nice video. I got to Geneva three days ago because I'm working at CERN for three weeks, and today I finally took the time to go wander down along the lake. I took the 18 to Coutance, walked to the river, and then followed the coast to the end of Parc de La Perle du Lac, and then walked down various streets back across to the same tram stop I arrived from. I hadn't watched any videos or read any guides before this, so I was just exploring randomly. Your city is lovely. I had a nice time and can't wait to head back down to Geneva in a couple of days. I was planning to go to Old Town to see the cathedral with a friend who told me about it. Your video also gave me some new places to check out while I'm here. Merci!

Thanks for your videos! I just subscribed and it’s been so helpful. My family and I are traveling to Switzerland for the first time in April and arriving in Zurich and making our way to Geneva. We have about 6 full days. Which 2-3 base cities would you recommend we stay as I understand once we establish a base, we can take the train to other cities easily from there. I was thinking of heading straight to Lucerne upon landing and then we can go to interlaken and surrounding area or explore Zurich from there. Perhaps a day or 2 in zermatt and then finally stay in geneva. If you have other suggestions as we want to get the most in on our short stay, that would be great!

OK, so this is _slightly_ off-topic but I'm in Lausanne now and noticed something odd that I had not seen on my previous visits: beggars! Do you know what's going on and why this sudden increase (from basically zero in the past)? I also went for a day to Interlaken (an addiction of mine) but there seems to be no problem there. A couple of days ago I went to Geneva (to visit the Patek Philippe museum, very nice!) and I didn't see any beggars there either. Does any of this make sense? I'm assuming this must be something well-known. Few months ago I was in Poland and Lviv (Ukraine) and seen practically no such problem there.

@zekeoneill5651 3 жыл бұрын

It must be a big change relocating from Geneva to Zurich! What language does Louis conduct his job in at work? Does it require fluency in French and/or German?

@TheTravelingSwiss 3 жыл бұрын

Louis works in finance and speaks English in his office - from his experience since they financial firms are quite international the office environments seem to be primarily in English - he uses his French sometimes but it wasn’t required, and he’s not fluent in German. I think the language depends on the sector but for financial firms and larger organizations english tends to be the main language spoken, a local language is always a plus though! But not always a requirement
