The next day I headed out around 9am to catch the Palm Sunday Mass at St. Pierre cathedral just up the road. The Cathedral is very simple on the inside, but what lies below was 2,000 years of history. Around the back of the church you can make your way into the archaeological site. The cost was under $10 and took about an hour if you follow all the signs and watch all the videos about the excavation. This is the largest of its size in Europe so it’s well worth a stopover for some of the Christian history in Geneva. During the tour of the site they provided some more places to see in Geneva that were part of the first settlements along the river. I headed to find the bus 10 and set off for the airport. Besides the splurge on a new swatch I spent less than $30 across the two days. So Geneva on a budget was a success.
Good Tips:
Bring a water bottle as there are water stations all over the city
Getting food to go and sitting at the parks will save you a hefty surcharge in most places
Happy Traveling,
