Getting to Geneva
Geneva is at the heart of Europe, with an international airport offering direct flights to over 140 destinations and a convenient hub for low-cost carrier Easyjet.
The train journey from the airport to the city center takes just 6 minutes.
In fact, coming to Geneva by train can be a convenient option as there is a fast TGV connection to Paris, a direct line to Milan and Intercity trains to Zurich and beyond (see here for train timetables: https://www.sbb.ch/en ).
Another economical transport option is long-distance bus travel, for example with Flixbus.

Where to eat ?
For eating (local of course) on a budget but without compromising on quality, Chez ma Cousine is the place to be. Specialising in chicken, the establishment offers a succulent Thai chicken curry or Half a roast chicken with the famous Cousine sauce. An international city, you’ll also find the best Indian, Ethiopian and Italian restaurants in the Pâquis district. If your preference goes to Lebanese gastronomy, Parfums de Beyrouth is an absolute must. For real burger lovers, not of the junk food persuasion, Inglewood – in Eaux-Vives or Plainpalais – will have you drooling with its skillfully prepared local products. Finally, several restaurants feature typical local menus and picturesque settings, such as Café Vaudois or Cave Valaisanne, that allow you to discover Switzerland’s culinary specialities at reasonable prices!
