Embark on the Geneva Audio Tour: Banks, Botanics, and Avant-Garde Architecture

A silent lion guards a secret on the manicured lawns of Parc La Grange while glass and concrete dreams shimmer behind the austere façade of Maison Clarté. Geneva hides its most tantalising tales in plain sight.

This self-guided audio tour slips behind the city’s elegant veneer to reveal the stories and scandals that most visitors miss. Each stop brings Geneva’s hidden drama and forgotten moments right to your ears.

Who vanished in broad daylight near the banks of the lake, never to be seen again? What cryptic messages are engraved overhead in the CBH Compagnie Bancaire Helvétique’s private halls? Why did a flock of parakeets become an unlikely symbol of rebellion on a peaceful garden path?

Move through tree-shaded avenues and striking modernist icons. Each step uncovers intrigue, invention and the power struggles that shaped the city you see today.

Let Geneva’s secrets surface. Begin exploring now.
