I loved this place, there are many pretty shops and streets. Also in Geneva you have access to free mineral water from many many points in the city,just remember to double check if it is drinkable as some are just for "decoration" :) also to note that here prices tend to be a little higher than other parts of Geneva...

Nice place to sit for an (expensive!) coffee or beer, as near to the heart of the old town as Geneva has such a thing! More

This is the place to go for a coffee, even hot wine and to sit outside even if it's winter. The place to be and to be seen - much visited by Geneva students - the reference (e.g. cafe la Clemence) right in the old down town of Geneva, a must visit of Geneva More
