A Different side to Geneva

A bistro is a beautiful place to relax at any time of the day, and Bistrot du Fromager is one such place. We start with the “fromager” – in this case, a cheese shop and cafe in one. The cheese selection here is worth visiting; they also serve light meals, desserts, and wine. Their terrace is a great place to sit on a warm day, with a glass of wine and a few of their delicious cheeses. They are also very family-friendly; there are highchairs, kids' menus, and crayons for drawing. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the food is excellent for all ages.

Next up is the Coffee Library. This place offers the best experience for coffee lovers. Are you a coffee connoisseur? Do you like to try new beans from around the world? Then you're in luck because this place is for you! You can select beans from a wall of over 100 types of coffee from around the world, grind them for your espresso machine, pour a cup, and enjoy. You can even sample different types simultaneously to find your favorite. If you are a coffee novice and want to learn more, they have a selection of books explaining everything from picking beans to brewing techniques.

A few miles away, you’ll find a very different place. Cafe Noir is a hidden gem in Geneva, close to the United Nations that offers an amazing cup of coffee and live jazz music while you're there. This is a relaxed place with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, with interesting artwork on the walls. Café Noir is a great place to sit, converse with friends, or even read a book. The coffee is great, with a selection of different flavors and a good variety of teas. It is also very reasonably priced for Geneva and comes with the added bonus of an excellent selection of sweet treats.

The Geneve Rouger is a rotating restaurant on top of the Heidhaus castle. This is a nice spot for dinner, giving you a beautiful panorama of the area. The restaurant looks like a ship; the captain's table is a round rotating table that rotates 360 degrees as you dine. The servers are friendly, and the menu is à la carte. The Geneve Rouger is open for dinner from April to October. You can make a reservation online.

Ever wanted to fly like Superman Flyboard is a water jetpack experience, one of the best things to do in Geneva. Flyboard is one of the most extreme sports in the world, where you are standing on a water ski and flying up to 12 meters high. After a quick training session, you can jump into the lake and try out this new sport. Water is pumped from the lake shore by a jetpack. The Jetpack sprays water through special nozzles at the back of your feet. This creates a vacuum that sucks you up into the air. You can use the jetpack as a water ski or let it go and fly around. The session will end with a video clip of you flying around and hopefully landing safely.
