A sunday in Geneva

When Sunday rolls around, many people wonder how to make the most of their day. Don’t worry - although Geneva slows down a bit on Sundays, it still offers plenty of activities and discoveries. Follow this itinerary for a relaxing yet engaging day in the city.

Start your day with a good breakfast, then head over to Plainpalais Market. Every weekend, this large square transforms into a vibrant space that hosts both a flea market and an international food market. The atmosphere is lively and uplifting perfect for starting your day on a positive note.

For bargain hunters, the flea market is a real treasure trove. You’ll find second-hand clothes, furniture, home décor, books, and countless curiosities. Then, explore the food section where local producers offer fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as artisanal products. If you don’t plan on heading home for lunch, try the diverse food stalls, offering everything from Lebanese to Italian, Peruvian, Mexican, and of course, the traditional Sunday roast chicken.

After a satisfying meal, stroll over to Parc des Bastions for a game of giant chess. Even if you're not a chess master, watching skilled players is a spectacle in itself. The park is a beloved spot for locals on sunny days - perfect for a laid-back walk.

Continue your stroll through the Old Town, heading toward the iconic Jet d’Eau. Walk along the curve of the lake to the opposite shore, passing through the beautiful English Gardens, Rousseau Island, and the Bains des Pâquis. Your final stop is “La Perle du Lac,” a peaceful spot with breathtaking views of Mont Blanc, ideal for relaxing on the grass.

To end your day on a high note, make your way back to the city center and enter the prestigious Ritz-Carlton Hotel de la Paix for an unforgettable dinner at Dans le Noir ? Geneva. There, you’ll enjoy a surprise menu in complete darkness, guided by an amazing team of visually impaired waiters.
