With its chocolatiers, playgrounds and lakeside beaches, Switzerland’s second city is a hit with families.

For families, Geneva makes for an idyllic city break. The city’s a manageable size and full of child-friendly attractions, from quaint toy shops like Le Carrousel to quirky museums.

 

Excess energy to burn off? There are lakeside pools to splash in, parks and playgrounds to explore, and mountain adventures on your doorstep. The warm welcome at Mandarin Oriental, Geneva adds to the appeal: book a special family deal for welcome gifts for kids, complimentary meals and more.
