Geneva
Basic Info
Geneva is not Switzerland's capital, despite what many think. This chic, sleek, cosmopolitan lakeside city is, in fact, only Switzerland's second-largest city. Mark Twain visited Geneva so often towards the end of the 19th century that American literary magazines began to fear he had taken up residence.
