For the second year in a row, Geneva has been named “Europe’s Leading City Break Destination” at the World Travel Awards 2015 ceremony that took place at Forte Village in Sardinia on 5 September 2015. This distinction, as prestigious for tourism as an Oscar is for cinema, consolidates its status as an ideal destination for a weekend break.
With its magnificent location on the banks of Lake Geneva and close to the Alps, Geneva is extremely accessible, being well served by air and land. Its hotel offering is exceptional and particularly attractive at weekends. Once there, the visitor can take advantage of a great many innovative and tailored services to make them comfortable during their stay: free public transport, customized tours, a guide of recommended places to visit, including one tailored specifically by and for women and the Geneva Pass (available online), offering a host of free and discounted activities – to name but a few.
The attention paid toward visitor satisfaction has enabled Geneva to stand out as a destination from other cities and win Europe’s Leading City Break Destination award for the second consecutive year.
