If you are staying in a hotel in Geneva, be aware that you get free access to Geneva public transport (or at least you did when I was there last May). Ask about it at the reception.

Thanks for this info. I read also, that it's possible to get a free ticket at the arrival (airport) valide for 80 minutes.

what is the weather at the end of May and the beginning of June?
Thanks again!

And yes get your free ticket at the airport, then a free bus pass in the hotel. More info on:
