Home to around 185,000 inhabitants of which around 40% are not Swiss, Geneva is a dynamic city with three official languages, lots of museums, and some important international organisations such as the United Nations, the World Health Organisation and the World Trade Organisation.

Geneva's prime position, surrounded by two mountain chains offers a wonderful backdrop to the city, as well as the perfect opportunity to go skiing in the Alps, swimming and sunbathing by the lake and for a walk in Rousseau Island located in the Rhone which runs through the city.
