Driving in Geneva
Driving in Geneva can be an enjoyable experience as long as you're aware of the local traffic rules:
- Right-hand drive: Unlike in the UK, Switzerland drives on the right-hand side of the road. It might take a bit to get used to, but remember - roundabouts go anti-clockwise.
- Speed limits: In towns, the limit is typically 50km/h. On open roads, it's 80km/h, and on motorways, it goes up to 120km/h. Be aware of sudden changes in speed limits.
- Alpine Roads: If you're venturing into the alpine regions, be prepared for narrow, winding roads and always give way to post buses.

- Mont Saleve: A short drive from the city center, this mountain provides panoramic views of Geneva.
- Geneva's Old Town: Home to St. Peter’s Cathedral, and full of narrow winding streets, cafes and historical buildings.

- The Jet d'Eau: One can't miss this iconic water fountain whilst exploring Geneva.
