Geneva’s history stretches back more than two millennia, from the time it was a Roman outpost to becoming a hub for European power and global diplomacy today. But, the turning point in Geneva’s history was during the Middle Ages, as well as during the Protestant Reformation, with the rise and influence of John Calvin. This era cemented its status as a refuge for intellectuals and religious reformers from across Europe.

Fast-forward to modern history, Geneva isn’t only celebrated as a hub for diplomacy but also for its vibrant cultural scene. World-class museums and theaters are found here. Moreover, its commitment to innovation and education is seen in the presence of institutions like the University of Geneva, molding people who will shape the future of Switzerland and the world.

Punctuality reigns supreme

The Swiss are known for punctuality, so if you are attending events in Geneva, make sure to arrive early. As the old saying goes, "If you're not early, you're late". Also, invest in learning basic French phrases as this language is predominantly spoken in this city.

Carry some Francs

Switzerland isn't on the Euro, so if you don't have any already, be sure to withdraw some Swiss Francs to pay for transactions in smaller establishments that don’t accept credit cards.

Get travel insurance

Swiss healthcare is top-notch, but because it is one of the best in the world, it can be expensive. Be sure to get travel insurance, especially if you plan on doing anything more strenuous than eating chocolate.

Zermatt to Geneva by train

The train is the most popular way to get from Zermatt to Geneva but isn't the most convenient since there aren't any direct trains. Instead, you'll need to change trains in Visp, and sometimes in Lausanne as well. The price of a train ticket starts at around $74 (€68). This trip takes around 3.5 to four hours, offering fantastic views of the Swiss Alps the entire ride.

Zermatt to Geneva by bus

Riding a bus is the most economical option on paper, with bus fares ranging from about $50 (€46) to about $88 (€81). However, there aren't any buses from Zermatt to Geneva. Instead, you need to take a car transfer or train to Sion, then a train to Martigny, and then you can finally get a bus to Geneva. Best case, the journey takes six hours, but we say it isn't worth the price or hassle when the train is only a few dollars more.

Private car transfer from Zermatt to Geneva with Daytrip

If you want convenience, speed, and the freedom to explore sightseeing stops on the road, book a private ride with Daytrip. Daytrip's private car service is the only direct transportation option from Zermatt to Geneva. And we mean door-to-door direct---you don't even have to get to a train station.

Even better, you’ll have an English-speaking driver who can provide tips and insights, and handle your luggage at both ends of your journey. Prices start at $94 per person, so it's not much more than the train if you're traveling in a group!

Zermatt to Geneva by rental car

For those preferring to drive, the trip covers a distance of approximately 149 miles (240 kilometers) and takes about 3.5 hours. This route allows for flexibility in scheduling and the opportunity to explore various attractions along the road, such as the vineyards of Valais and the lakeside city of Lausanne. Just keep in mind Geneva isn't the easiest city to drive or find parking in.

Walk the cobbled streets of Geneva’s Old Town

Start your day in Geneva at the Old Town. It’s the most traditionally scenic part of the city where you can visit independent boutiques, be mesmerized by stunning architectural designs, dine in restaurants, and people-watch over a cup of coffee.

Pamper yourself and relax at the Bains des Pâquis

The price of pampering yourself at a spa in Switzerland can get really expensive. But if you need to relax without breaking the bank, head to the Bains des Pâquis, public swimming baths on Lake Geneva. It’s the best place for a dip, massage, sauna, cheap lunch, and even some fondues.

Grab a cheese fondue

Some of the world’s best fondues, if not the best, are in Switzerland. Why? It originated in 18th-century Switzerland. So treat yourself to a delicious cheese fondue while you’re in Geneva. Best enjoyed with fresh-baked bread, make sure to try goat cheese fondue that’s so good it’ll make you go back for seconds (and thirds).

Visit the Italian Quarter

Geneva also has an Italian side, and you can witness this in Carogue. It has a long history with Italian residents who built this district perfectly for a weekend stroll. While you’re here, don’t forget to visit the fresh produce market for some freshly baked treats.

Escape to the mountains

Switzerland is famous for its scenic mountains. And if you couldn’t get enough of the Matterhorn in Zermatt, Geneva is near numerous Swiss and French ski resorts that make it entirely possible to head off for a day to ski and return to town by nightfall. You can go hiking, paragliding, tobogganing, and mountain biking in the summer.
