Capital of Peace is one of its names - the European headquarters of the United Nations is located here. Another well-deserved name for this city with a humanitarian tradition, international organisations and cosmopolitan flair, is The World's Smallest Metropolis. Quays, lakeside promenades, parks, elegant stores and lively streets and alleyways in the old part of town wait to be discovered. Boat trips beckon on the lake and the Rhone River. The Alps seem close enough to touch. Geneva - small metropolis surrounded by unspoiled nature and breathtaking scenery. On its limits lie magnificent country estates, hidden behind ancient stands of oak, and, to the north, peaceful villages, home of fruity Perl an wines. Yet more villages and towns huddle the shores of Lake Geneva itself.
Arrival by car:
From Lausanne/Bern/San Bernardino and France: Highway A1 (N1):
take the exit Genève-Lac (be aware of the numerous radar speed traps in the city and at the highway exits leading to Geneva... there is one at this exit too...) and
follow straight to the Route de Lausanne, and the Rue de Lausanne for approximately 3.5 kilometres.
After the traffic light of the «Avenue de France» junction, take the third street on your left (Rue Jean-Charles Amat) and turn left twice to come back to the Rue de Lausanne. (you have to turn around the block of buildings in order to come back to the «Rue de Lausanne» on the opposite way it is forbidden to turn into the «Rue Butini» when coming from the highway exit). Take the first street on your right,
you are now in the Rue Butini and Minotel Longchamp can be found at 150 metres further down on your right.
