Affordable Geneva

The Swiss city is famous for quality and luxury, but if you know where to look, it can be surprisingly budget-friendly too

Treats for all

If fine dining floats your boat, there is an abundance of choice, but there are more affordable options too, such as the twice-a-week food market in Carouge, which overflows with delicious local produce. Chocoholics should book on to one of the city's guided chocolate walking tours, where you visit chocolate factories and patisseries, learning about the craft and sampling the goods. For culture buffs, there are more than 30 museums and galleries to choose from, and entry is free on the first Sunday of every month.

If you're more an outdoorsy type, you're only a stone's throw from the mountains, where you can hike, cycle, ski or paraglide if you wish.
