• About Dear Geneva

    Geneva, a hive of hidden treasures. On first impressions, it's cooly calm & presents a city of watches, bankers & wealth. But it's only when you delve a little deeper, & step away from the fondue restaurants & stores selling Saint Bernard backpacks, that you find a place bursting with great finds & hidden gems. But as with any city, you need to know where to look. It might be from an tourist guide, word of mouth from a friend or a local.
    Dear Geneva aims to be a combination of these & arm you with an arsenal of spots to seek out & local activities. Places where you can spend a few hours on a Sunday, spots to linger over a local wine and slice (or three) of cheese, & places to eat where the owner will remember you the next time you visit, and send you away with your jeans feeling a little tighter. And so, after swatting away our first impressions, we've come to find it a creative, fun & culturally eclectic city. We love sharing our favourite haunts & finds with you, & aim to become your 'go to guide' for all things Geneva.
