Park in Geneva
Parc des Bastions is a public park below the Old Town with the Reformation Wall (a 100-meter monument depicting the founders of Calvinism), giant chess boards (free to play), and the University of Geneva building. Free. Budget travelers play chess on the giant boards, photograph the Reformation Wall, and rest in one of the rare free green spaces in the center of an expensive city.

Other places worth the walk, and what each one costs.
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.
The Jet d'Eau is Geneva's iconic water fountain on Lake Geneva, shooting water 140 meters into the air. Free to see from the lakeside promenades.
