#europeonbudget

🎯 Highlights
• Stroll Lake Geneva’s promenade for free — swans, mountains, and picture-perfect sunsets.
• Explore the Old Town’s cobblestone alleys and climb St. Peter’s Cathedral tower (cheap, and the views are priceless!).
• Don’t miss Parc des Bastions — giant chess boards, shady trees, and locals relaxing.
• Visit the UN Headquarters on a guided tour for a surprisingly affordable glimpse into global history.

🗺️ Getting There
• From Geneva Airport, take the free 80-minute public transport ticket from machines near baggage claim — a budget traveler’s dream! 🚍
• Once in town, grab a Geneva Transport Card (often free with accommodation or hostels) to ride trams, buses, and even boats across the lake.

🌟 Tips
• Free museums on the first Sunday of the month — perfect for art and history buffs.
• Head to Carouge (the “Greenwich Village of Geneva”) for quirky cafés and affordable eats.
• Picnic like a local: stop by a supermarket, grab cheese, bread, and chocolate, then enjoy by the lake.
• Skip pricey boat cruises — take the yellow Mouettes water taxis, included in your transport card. 🚤
