When I first stepped foot into Geneva, I was amazed by the amount of watch shops. I know Switzerland is famous for fine watches, but there is seriously at least one watch shop on every block in Geneva.<\/p>\n

In Rue du Mont-Blanc, there is a large shopping mall called Le Plaza if you\u2019re looking for more variety of goods to select from other than watches.<\/p>\n

\"geneva5\"<\/a> \"geneva6\"<\/a> \"geneva7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are many expensive boutique shops on Rue du Rhone in the city center of Geneva such as Louis Vuitton.<\/p>\n

For a lesser expensive selection of goods, head to the city center of Geneva of Rue de la Croix-d’Or where you can find a discount shopping complex called Interdiscount XXL. Also around Rue de la Croix-d\u2019Or, there are street vendors selling inexpensive souvenirs and trinkets.<\/p>\n

Many people who live in Geneva get around the city in motorbikes and bicycles since owning a car is very expensive in Switzerland. In addition, there are also buses and trams in Geneva.<\/p>\n

\"geneva13\"<\/a> \"geneva13a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Around Rue de la Madeleine in the city-center of Geneva, you can find a large pony ride carousel. It looks amazing during the night time.<\/p>\n
