8.Geneva: City Pass with 60 Activities

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 284 reviews · from $37

Save on Geneva museums, lake cruises, guided tours, transport, and Mount Salève with a flexible 1 to 3 day city pass.

“I believe the Geneva City Pass provides the best overall experience. When you purchase the pass, you receive a voucher that must be redeemed at the Geneva Tourism office in the city centre mall at Cornavin. Depending on the day, you can access multiple activities, usually at least two. On a Wednesday, for example, I participated in a 75-minute tour of the international quarter. I enjoyed a 40-minute tram ride through the old city at no additional cost or at discounted prices. The pass includes a free boat ride on the yellow boat to select points on the lake. Overall, I think it offers excellent value for money.Read more”

Explore Zurich’s old town with the City Whisperer, from Roman remains and secret passages to Bahnhofstrasse and Grossmünster.

“Our friends and family group of 8 ppl recently participated in this tour of Zurich, and it was amazing! We saw beautiful streets and alleys around the Old Town and learned about some of the history of the area dating back to the time of the Romans. Jurg was very knowledgeable and personable, taking the time to talk with our teenagers and to answer any questions they had. This was the most engaged I have ever seen them on a tour - the hidden out-of-the-way tunnels and passages underground threaded throughout the tour made it especially memorable and interesting. I'm sure our entire family will remember this experience fondly and…”
