Exploring Beautiful Lake Geneva (1/3)

        Everywhere you look in Switzerland, you see beautiful scenery. Snow covers high mountain peaks. Lovely Swiss houses grace the mountain slopes. The sun dances on blue mountain lakes. Lake Geneva is the bluest and largest of all these lakes. Each year thousands of travelers enjoy Lake Geneva’s beauty and explore its charming cities and towns.
        Start your tour of the scenic Lake Geneva region in Switzerland’s second largest city, Geneva. The first thing you’ll notice here is all the green space. Parks, promenades and thousands of trees grace the city.
Geneva
        See the city on foot, beginning at the symbol of the city, the Jet d’Eau. This spectacular fountain sends water 138 m into the air. Then head to the Jardin Anglais (English Garden) to view its famous Flower Clock. Carefully landscaped beds of flowers from the clock’s face. As you’d expect from a country famous for making watches, the clock keeps perfect time.
        Then wander through the Old Town. Explore the old streets with their art galleries, antiques shops and small cafes and restaurants. Be sure to sample cheese fondue, the national dish of Switzerland.
