(Geneva, Switzerland, CH
Known for its scenic location on the south-westerly side of Lake Geneva (Lac de Genève), the Swiss city of Geneva can be found within the Romandy language region, in western Switzerland. Geneva is a vast city and home to a population of approximately 200,000 people, making it amongst Switzerland's most densely populated cities.
