GENEVA CHRISTMAS TRAVEL TIPS
– Christmas is the time of pure joy, laughter, and indulgence, and Geneva is exactly the city you want to be in to treat yourself to some winter comfort food. The obvious reason is, of course, mouthwatering chocolate in every shape and form. But traditional Swiss cuisine such as fondue (cheese, meat, and all other kinds you can think of), raclette, and rosti are the ultimate comfort foods that go amazing with the atmosphere of the advent season.
– Geneva has plenty of exciting advent traditions you will learn about on a Christmas tour. One of the most interesting (read eccentric) is called Coupe de Noel. It is almost a century old and takes place the Sunday before Christmas. On this day, thousands of people dive into the ice-cold waters of the Lake Geneva to swim 125 meters. And wearing special gear is not welcome, while a fancy dress or a little mermaid costume are excellent go-to options.
