Geneva, Switzerland travel guide
Just 4 km Northwest of the city center, Geneva International Airport (GVA) in Switzerland is truly international. Running along the Swiss-French border the airport can be accessed from both countries. What's more, passengers on flights to and from France do not have to go through Swiss customs and immigration controls if they remain in the French sector of the airport.
The airport is located within the commune of Meyrin and partially in the commune of Grand-Saconnex. The Cointrin International Airport has extensive convention facilities, a shopping area with 50 shops, restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. It is completely adapted for wheelchair users and there are services for the hearing and visually impaired. Wireless internet is available in the entire terminal, as well as other services such as banking, money exchange, and Cointrin Geniva car hire.
In 2009 the airport served 11,324,141 passengers! Winter weekends see dozens of coaches at the nearby Charter terminal meeting charter flights from all over Europe, but primarily the UK to deliver vacationers to and from ski resorts in France, Switzerland, and Italy.

Tourist attractions at Geneva, Switzerland
Jardin Botanique
Featuring exotic plants and an aviary, the Jardin Botanique is a beautiful sight worth stopping for. Located in Northern Geneva on Ave de la paix, Palais des Nations Quarter, make it your first stop past the city in your car hire from Geniva's Contrin airport.
Jet d'Eau
Boasting 140 meter high plumes of water, this is not your average fountain! Venture out onto the pier for a splash or enjoy from a distance the mastery of seven tons of water flying through the air, the amount said to be airborne at any one time. It costs nothing to visit and the Jet d'Eau is in operation from March through October.
Musée d'Histoire Naturelle
Everyone enjoys a good natural history museum. This one happens to be home of every species of tiger known to man, stuffed for perpetuity. This is a lovely museum and a great outing for the kids. Admission is free and the museum is open Tuesday through Sunday.
