Essentials

City
Geneva, Canton of Geneva, Switzerland, a French-speaking city on Lake Geneva. 1 34
Population
The City of Geneva had 210,601 residents at the end of 2025, and the canton 537,191 (OCSTAT). Grand Genève, the cross-border area, was over 1,027,000 in 2022. 1 2 3
Internet Speed
Ookla's September 2026 Switzerland median was 488.94 Mbps on fixed broadband and 201.08 Mbps on mobile. That is a country figure, not a Geneva-only test. 4
Currency & Banking
On 19 October 2026, 1 USD bought 0.8250 CHF (about 1.21 USD for 1 CHF). UBS has a branch in the airport arrivals hall; Banque Cantonale de Genève is at Quai de l'Ile 17. 26 34 47
Tap Water
SIG tap water is drinkable. About 90% comes from Lake Geneva and 10% from groundwater, and the 2025 checks (4,701 samples) were under the cantonal food inspectorate. 7
Power
230 V, 50 Hz. Household plugs and sockets follow Swiss standard SN 441011 (Type J). A two-pin Europlug (Type C) fits those sockets. 8 9

Cashless Friendly
ATMs are easy to find at banks, the station and malls, and many larger shops take euros as well as cards. TPG tickets are sold from machines and by SMS before you board. 10 34
Short Term Rentals
A furnished flatshare room near the UN and IHEID, in 1218 Geneva, was CHF 1,349 a month including utilities on Flatfox, with Wi-Fi in the charges and Cornavin about 10 minutes by bus. 25
Budget Accommodation
Geneva Hostel, Rue Rothschild 28-30, is about a 10-minute walk from Cornavin and gives each guest a free unireso card for the stay. The hostel page did not list a current dorm price. 24
Best Area to Stay for Tourists
The Old Town for the cathedral, city hall and the Escalade streets, and Pâquis for the lake, Bains des Pâquis and food. 35
Best Area to Stay for Digital Nomads
Eaux-Vives for the parks, the lakeside beach and cafes, or Plainpalais for the market, student bars and museums. The priced coworking desk is in Vernier, by the airport, not in these quarters. 11 35

Working and Networking

Transportation

Bike/Scooter Rental
Genèveroule lends bikes from about 30 April to 30 October, with stations by the lake, behind Cornavin, in Eaux-Vives, on Plaine de Plainpalais and in Carouge. Wikivoyage lists the first four hours free, then CHF 2 an hour, against a CHF 20 deposit and an ID. 34

Top Regional Airline
easyJet uses Geneva Airport as a European hub, with flights to cities such as London, Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid and Barcelona. 34
Top International Airline
Wikivoyage notes direct flights from New York, Washington D.C. and Montreal, without naming the carrier. easyJet is the named airline for the European network. 34
Highway Access
The A1 enters at Bardonnex, passes the airport and runs on toward Lausanne and, eventually, St. Margrethen. Motorways need a CHF 40 vignette, sticker or e-vignette, valid from 1 December to 31 January. 16 17
Main Train/Transit Hub
Gare de Genève-Cornavin is the main station, with trams outside the door. Every airport train stops there, about 7 minutes from the terminal, on a CHF 3 zone 10 ticket. 18 34
Public Transport Passes
unireso zone 10 covers the canton. A 60-minute ticket is CHF 3, a full day pass is CHF 10 (two people together on Saturday or Sunday), and an adult monthly pass is CHF 70 (CHF 500 a year), second class. 10
Regional Travel
Direct SBB trains from the airport and Cornavin run to Lausanne, Bern and Zurich. Léman Express and SNCF trains continue to Annemasse, Annecy, Lyon and Paris. 18

Food and Drink

Best Local Dish to Try
The Escalade chocolate cauldron, broken in December with the line about the enemies of the Republic, is Geneva's own tradition. Cheese fondue is the table dish at Café du Soleil (Place du Petit-Saconnex) and, in winter, at Buvette des Bains. 21 22 34
Vegan/Vegetarian Options
Gives a Fork, Rue David-Dufour 8, serves vegetarian and vegan Asian food. Boréal Coffee also lists vegan options at Rue du Stand 60. 23 34

Affordable Shopping Spots

E-commerce/Online Store
Galaxus (galaxus.ch) is the main Swiss online shop, with Digitec deals on the same site. 41
Bar/Nightlife Area
Rue de l'École-de-Médecine, beside Plaine de Plainpalais, is the student bar street. Pâquis is the other late area, from La Terrasse to the Palais Mascotte cabaret. 35
Local Brewery
Brasserie des Murailles brews at 48 Route de Corsinge in Meinier, outside the city, and delivers kegs to bars. Tastings are Wednesday and Thursday, 17:00-19:00, by reservation. 40
Street Food Stalls
Pâquis is the takeaway strip: Le Dhaba, Hidmona, Le Kampai, Seoul and Dim Sum Gourmand sit along the same streets between the station and the lake. 35
Popular International Cuisine
Pâquis is where Geneva eats from elsewhere, from Eritrean and Korean counters to Japanese and Indian rooms. La Cuccagna, 33 Rue Saint-Joseph in Carouge, is a small Italian restaurant. 34 35

Culture and Attractions

Must-See Landmarks
The Jet d'Eau, on Quai Gustave-Ador, rises about 140 metres and is free to watch. The flower clock is in the Jardin Anglais, just across Pont du Mont-Blanc. 14 34
Museums & Art Venues
The Patek Philippe Museum is open, with a Nautilus exhibition into early 2027, and the Musée d'ethnographie (MEG) is in Plainpalais. MAMCO is closed for renovation through 2028 and is using temporary spaces. 36 37
Historical Sites
The Palais des Nations, built from 1929 to 1936, is the European headquarters of the United Nations and is visited on a guided tour. The Reformation Wall stands in Parc des Bastions. 34 36
Religious Sites
St Pierre Cathedral, at the top of the Old Town, has been a Protestant church since the Reformation. The north tower is 157 steps, with a view over the city and the lake. 14 35
Annual Events
Fête de l'Escalade fills the Old Town from 11 to 13 December 2026 with parades and the chocolate cauldron. Wikivoyage also describes a free Fête de la Musique over three days in June. 22 34
Cultural Districts
Carouge, south of the Arve, is the Sardinian-planned quarter Geneva Tourism calls its Greenwich Village, with workshops, shaded terraces and late bars. 35 36
Theater Venues
Grand Théâtre de Genève (Boulevard du Théâtre 11) is putting current shows on at the Bâtiment des Forces Motrices. Théâtre de Carouge, Rue Ancienne 37 A, is in its 2026/27 season. 38 39
Local Markets
The Plainpalais flea market is on Plaine de Plainpalais on Saturdays, and on some Wednesdays. 34 35

Nature and Outdoor Activities

Nearby Nature Escapes
Parc La Grange and Parc des Eaux-Vives line the left bank of the lake. Mont Salève, just over the French border, is the viewpoint ridge, reached by the Salève cable car from Veyrier. 34 35 36
National Parks Nearby
Switzerland's only national park is the Swiss National Park in the Engadine, with its centre at Zernez. It is a long rail journey from Geneva, not a day trip. 43
Cycling/Walking Paths
The lake quays are the easy walk and ride, and the Old Town is best on foot. Genèveroule lends bikes in season from stations along the lake, at Cornavin, Plainpalais and Carouge. 34
Scenic Viewpoints
The north tower of St Pierre gives a full view of the city, the lake and the Jet d'Eau. The Salève cable car, on the French side above Veyrier, looks back over Geneva. 14 35 36

Business

Studio Purchase Price (City Center)
OCSTAT's 2024 free-market median in Cité-Centre was CHF 16,812 per m² (17 sales). A 40 m² studio at that rate is about CHF 672,480. 28
Studio Purchase Price (Outside City)
OCSTAT's 2024 free-market median in Lancy, outside the City of Geneva, was CHF 9,741 per m² (62 sales). A 40 m² studio at that rate is about CHF 389,640. 28
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)
The same 2024 Cité-Centre median, CHF 16,812 per m², puts a 60 m² one-bedroom at about CHF 1,008,720. OCSTAT does not split the median by number of rooms. 28
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (Outside City)
The same 2024 Lancy median, CHF 9,741 per m², puts a 60 m² one-bedroom at about CHF 584,460. 28
2-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)
The same 2024 Cité-Centre median, CHF 16,812 per m², puts an 80 m² two-bedroom at about CHF 1,344,960. 28
2-Bedroom Purchase Price (Outside City)
The same 2024 Lancy median, CHF 9,741 per m², puts an 80 m² two-bedroom at about CHF 779,280. 28
Corporate Tax
Federal corporate tax is 8.5% of profit after tax, about 7.83% before tax. With cantonal and communal tax, PwC's July 2026 range is about 11.66% to 20.54%; a 2026 Geneva calculator puts the capital-city effective rate near 14.7%. 29 31
Dividend Withholding Tax
The statutory withholding tax on dividends is 35%. Treaty relief is usually a refund rather than a lower rate taken off at payment. 30
Tax System
Tax-resident individuals are taxed on worldwide income at federal, cantonal and communal levels. Non-residents are taxed only on Swiss-source income. The country profile treats tax residence as possible after 90 days. 48
Highest Income Tax Bracket
PwC's 2026 comparison puts the City of Geneva's top marginal income-tax rate at 43.20% for a single person with no church tax, the highest cantonal capital on that chart. 12
VAT
Standard VAT is 8.1% since 1 January 2024, with 2.6% on many essentials and 3.8% on accommodation. 31
Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) Rules
The country tax profile records no general controlled-foreign-company regime. Large groups can instead face the OECD minimum tax: PwC records a Swiss top-up from 2024 and the income-inclusion rule from 2025. 29
Property Tax
Owners pay the impôt immobilier complémentaire on fiscal value: 1 per mille in general, and 0.2 per mille when the property is an individual's main home. 13
Property Transaction Tax
A paid transfer of Geneva real estate is charged 3% registration duty. From 1 March 2026 a main home can get up to CHF 20,924 off if it costs no more than CHF 1,394,928 and you live there for at least three years. 32 33
Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads
There is no digital-nomad visa. Many passports get 90 days in any 180 in Schengen, and PwC puts the City of Geneva's top marginal income tax at 43.20% once you are taxed as a resident. 12 15
