Itinerary
Step back in time as you explore Geneva's Old Town, from the historic old harbor to the magnificent cathedral, revealing its hidden secrets along the way. Discover the oldest school in the city, stroll through the district that once buzzed with a colorful past, and admire the last remnants of ancient Geneva architecture.

Uncover the hidden treasures of the Old Town, diving into its fascinating history and mysterious tales. Wander through forgotten streets, where the darker side of Geneva's past comes to life. Get lost in the charm of this ancient quarter and experience the stories it holds.

Step off the beaten path and into the heart of Geneva's Old Town, where history whispers through narrow alleyways, forgotten courtyards, and ancient stones. This immersive tour will take you beyond the postcard-perfect facades, revealing the mysteries, scandals, and power struggles that shaped the city over centuries.

Wander through the once-thriving harbor of Place Longemalle, where merchants and butchers shaped Geneva's early economy. Stroll past La Madeleine, the city's former red-light district, where the shadows of a hidden past still linger. Stand in Bourg-de-Four, the beating heart of Geneva for over a thousand years, and uncover the dark secrets of the Bishop's prison, hidden in the depths of the Old Town.

Follow in the footsteps of great thinkers at Collège Calvin, the city's oldest school and a pillar of the Reformation. Marvel at the Saint-Pierre Cathedral, a place of both religious supremacy and rebellion, and descend into its crypt to touch the foundations of Geneva itself. Discover the last remnants of medieval Geneva along Grand Rue, where time stands still among the city's oldest houses.

But Geneva is not just a city of grandeur—it is a city of resistance. At the Escalade Fountain, relive the legendary battle where the citizens of Geneva defended their freedom in a night of fire and steel. Through hidden passageways, lost enclaves, and untold stories, experience Geneva's Old Town as few ever have—off the tracks, rich with secrets, and alive with history.

To wrap up this fascinating journey, join at a welcoming office for a convivial apéritif featuring delicious local products. It's the perfect way to end the experience, surrounded by good company and the spirit of Geneva!
