Useful information about the flight from Glasgow to Geneva

Geneva - pretty, business like and quirky

With the famous association to the United Nations and high level banking, Geneva is a great place for business. The lake and its surroundings are undeniably stunning and clean. However, what is less well known is that there is a thriving music scene, antiques, arts and crafts scene too, making it a great place for a relaxing weekend too.

Best time for Geneva visits

The winters are mild, but unless you are combining a visit to Geneva with a winter sports trip, go between May and October when it's pretty and mild. For events, there's a Marathon in May, a Regatta called "Bol d'Or" in June, while August sees the "Fêtes de Genève" on Lake Geneva. In winter there's the "L'Escalade", taking place on 12th December which has parades, processions, road running.

Before you get to Geneva

This is one place where car hire is almost a necessity for exploring the mountains. There are a number of culinary specialities in the region. Visitors should not forget to try, "Longeole", a tasty raw sausage. Be warned, Geneva is one of the more expensive cities in the world, an average restaurant meal is about 20 CHF, and beer is about 7.50 CHF.
