Geneva’s Founding

Geneva's history stretches back to ancient times when it was a Celtic settlement, later evolving into a Roman city in 121 BC. The name "Geneva" originates from the Celtic root genu-, meaning an estuary or river mouth. This refers to its location where Lake Leman drains into the Rhone River. It was a crucial hub for trade and military activity for centuries as armies fought for control of the Alps.

Geneva’s History

In the 16th century, under John Calvin's leadership, Geneva became a focal point of the Protestant Reformation, transforming into a prominent religious and cultural center. The city continued to be a meeting place for the exchange of ideas and commerce. Following the Napoleonic Wars in 1814, Geneva joined the Swiss Federation.

Modern Day Geneva

Geneva is situated in a French-speaking canton of Switzerland, just 1.2 miles (1.9 km) from the French border. Switzerland has four official languages, with French speakers making up 22% of the Swiss population. However, due to Geneva’s large international community, English is widely spoken. Visitors to Geneva are able to get around with ease thanks to the multicultural environment. One million people travel to Geneva every year for excellent skiing, lakefront fun, and great views of the mountains, so what are you waiting for? Let’s go!

Follow the local customs

Northern Italians and the Swiss value punctuality, orderliness, and calm, especially in public places. Be aware of your noise levels and strive to be on time for your restaurant reservations and any tours.

Have your passport close

Italy and Switzerland are both in the Schengen Zone and allow free movement of people across their borders without a mandatory passport check. However, Switzerland is not part of the EU’s customs agreements and may ask to inspect your vehicle for products entering the country. To keep your time at the border short, carry your passport in your personal bag and not in the trunk of the car.
