Located in the heart of Europe, Geneva is the second most populous city of Switzerland (population of 490 578 in 2015) after Zürich. This cosmopolitan city hosts globalized companies with over 140 multinationals, 250 NGO’s and with established headquarters of several agencies such as the United Nations and the Red Cross.

Geneva is not only a financial centre. The city is also a symbol of fine watchmaking. Follow the footsteps of the watchmakers over the centuries and take a look at the beautiful Flower Clock. Moreover, Geneva enjoys an outstanding quality of living with the Lake Léman surrounded by mountains. Indeed, you will have a wonderful view of the Mont Blanc peak and the Alps.
