Whatever you do, don't take a cab

Good things in Geneva are ice cream, other things made of milk, toys (for children), the Rhone, proximity to France, and the surrouding mountains.

Bad things are boredom, the hideous flower clock, swiss tourism stereotypes, and prices, especially taxis.

I don't know if the big spiky water thing is in the good or bad list.

Agree 100% with taxi comment - its the same all over Switzerland. And drinks are pricey too, altho' I found food to be reasonable given that it usually is of very high quality.

Don't know about the boredom comment - ppl always said that about Zurich too, but I was able to have many, many wild nights there. And my flatmate in Zurich had spent a couple of years in Geneva, living above a hookers bar in the red-light district, and she certainly had fun there. Might just have to dig about a bit.
