Lifestyle and Shopping in Geneva
As a friendly and picturesque city brimming with wonderful attractions and activities for people of all ages and persuasions, Geneva makes a wonderful new home for expats and families relocating from abroad.
Specialising in some of the world’s best chocolate, jewellery, wine and watches, Geneva is a great place to enjoy the finer things
in life. While splashing out in this city can be expensive, it doesn’t have to be. Look out for bargains at some of the city’s most famous markets.
The clothes and book market on the Place de la Madeleine is always a treat, and the Plaine de Plainpalais, where everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to leather goods, antiques and vintage clothing can be found, is the largest outdoor flea market in the city.
If don't mind spending a pretty penny, the Rue du Marche and the Rue du Rhone are considered the main shopping drags in Geneva. Watchmakers, retailers, and restaurants line either side of both streets, and if you get tired of window-shopping, then people-watching in this area is just as riveting.
Geneva’s nightlife scene might not exactly blow your hair back, but it has its fair share of trendy pubs and bars, and even a few clubs for those looking to shake a tail feather. The Plaine de Plainpalais is a good place for the younger crowd, while the Place du Bourg de Four, near the old Town Hall, is also a good bet for a bit of a party.
