SimplyAbuDhabi XLVII

Upon arrival in Geneva, the rewards continue. The city is a study in balance — cosmopolitan yet serene, contemporary yet steeped in history. Stroll through Switzerland’s largest Old Town, where cobblestone lanes twist through centuries of stories, past hidden passageways, small muse- ums, and elegant stone façades. For those craving nature after the rhythm of the rails, Geneva’s lakefront offers its own version of indulgence: swim- ming in the Rhône, paddleboarding at Genève-Plage, or simply watching the sailboats drift past Mont Blanc in the distance. No visit to Geneva would be complete without a taste — quite literally — of its sweet traditions. With the Choco Pass , guests can follow the scent of rich cocoa through the city’s finest artisanal chocolatiers. From delicate truffles to velvety Grand Cru hot chocolates, each stop is a celebration of craftsmanship and heritage — and a reminder that beauty, like chocolate, is best savoured slowly. To deepen the experience, the Geneva City Pass offers seamless access to more than 60 cultural and natural attractions, from lake cruises to private gallery tours. Available in 24, 48, or 72-hour options, it invites travellers to discover the city not in a rush, but at their own rhythm. In the end, this is more than a journey from London to Geneva — it is a return to grace. To take the train is to choose presence over pace, scenery over speed. And in that simple decision lies a most luxurious truth: the beauty of travel is not always in getting there quickly, but in seeing clearly, feeling deeply, and basking in where your journeys take you.
