Timeline
14:27
Arrive at the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle when it opens. The museum is free and particularly good for youth and children, but even alone, the exhibits offer a peaceful start to the day before the crowds arrive.
15:42
Walk to L'Adresse, a short stroll from the museum. This French restaurant is self-consciously hip but serves decent food. It is an ideal spot for a relaxed lunch or a substantial snack.
16:27
Head to La Clémence for a drink. This cozy bar on the central square of Geneva's old town is a great place to unwind. If it is warm, you can use the large terrace, but even inside, the atmosphere is welcoming.
Local tip
The museum opens at 09:30, so arriving right at opening ensures you have the space to yourself. L'Adresse is open from 11:00, so time your lunch accordingly.
