| Chocolate, jewellery and luxurious watches |
Geneva has a gigantic assortment of shops and stores so it has something to offer for everyone and every taste. The two main chain department stores, which are also present in every big city of Switzerland, are called Manor and Globus. Geneva with all its watch manufacturers is considered as the capital of watches and is the heart for sumptuous jewellery. Most of these luxurious and designer goods can be found in the Rue du Rhône and Rue de Rive where these fine shops are located.
On the other side, the old town gorges small but very friendly artistic shops. And for something totally different you should take a look at the bi-weekly flea market, which takes place on the Plaine de Plainpalais.
Shops open already at 9 am and usually close at 7 pm except on Thursday when they close at 9 pm (after-hours shopping) and on Saturday at 6 pm Shops are generally closed on Sunday, except a few small convenience stores.
Before leaving, don't forget to grab yourself some Swiss chocolate. Geneva has many master chocolate confectioners, whose treats you will simply have to taste and bring back home to your family and friends. |
