Geneva benefits from a natural setting which lends itself to all kinds of escapades and water sports, and the city is also lots of fun!
DESTINATIONS
» Eger and Hollókő (Hungary): you absolutely have to discover Eger, which, after Budapest, is perhaps Hungary’s most beautiful town and also the village of Hollókö which is classed as a UNESCO world heritage site.
» Mama Shelter (Paris): a cross between boutique hotel and upmarket youth hostel, Mama Shelter is located in a peripheral Parisian neighbourhood, not far from the Boulevard Périphérique.
WEEKEND IDEAS
» Medina Mayrit (Madrid, Spain): as the only Turkish bath house of its kind in Madrid, the Medina Mayrit urban spa offers the perfect retreat to relax and escape from it all.
Remarks Without any doubt the most prestigious opera house in the world. It was inaugurated in 1778, built on the old site of the church of Santa Maria alla Scala, to which it owes its name. It saw Verdi and Rossini as they made their grand debut, and reached its peak when the flamboyant Arturo Toscanini directed the orchestra! Its simple facade reveals absolutely nothing of the magnificent concert hall inside... which you will be able to see from a loggia when visiting the opera house museum.
