Introduction
Geneva's Botanical Garden and Conservatory stretches across roughly 28 hectares beside the lake and the international district, having moved to its present site in the early twentieth century. It is one of Europe's significant botanical institutions and, being free, a favourite backyard for Genevans. Ancient trees shade lawns where peacocks wander freely, while the rock garden specialises in alpine plants and the glasshouses gather tropical and arid-world oddities; a small zoo adds to the family appeal. From the gates you can walk straight to the lakefront and the international organisations, pairing naturally with the Broken Chair for a refreshing half day.
