Bastions Park

>>> Panoramic 360°

Formerly Geneva’s first botanical garden (founded by A.-P. de Candolle in 1817 and maintained until the turn of the 20th century) this lovely promenade in the heart of the city is now embellished by monuments, fountains and statues all along its shady walks.

Over fifty rare varieties of trees may still be admired.

Also to note: the Reformation Wall, erected in 1909 to honour the founders of Protestantism, the Palais Eynard, built in the 19th century for a banker’s private residence and now housing the City of Geneva’s Town Hall and the University of Geneva, an imposing building which grew from the academy founded by Jean Calvin in the 16th century.

A pavilion-restaurant as well as a lifesized chess and checker game area make this a favourite meeting place.
