Geneva Old Town
Geneva’s Vieille Ville (Old Town) climbs a hill above the lake, centered on the Cathedral of St Pierre (free entry, tower climb paid). The Place du Bourg-de-Four (Geneva’s oldest square), the Reformation Wall (free), and the narrow streets of antique shops and cafes are all within walking distance. Budget travelers walk from the lakeside up through the old town to the cathedral and get Geneva’s history without paying for it.
