Jardin Anglais

Getting around: Jardin Anglais sits right on Geneva's lakefront near the point where the Rhône exits Lake Geneva, an easy walk from the train station or the city center, and directly connected to the pedestrian Pont du Mont-Blanc.
Hours: Open at all times as a public park.

Jardin Anglais is the small lakeside park at the point where the Rhône flows out of Lake Geneva, home to the Flower Clock and offering some of the best open views across the water toward the Jet d'Eau and, on clear days, Mont Blanc. Landscaped in the English romantic style in the 19th century, it's more a pleasant green pause than a major attraction in its own right.

It works best as a linking point on a lakefront walk — between the old town, the Jet d'Eau, and the promenades heading out along either shore of the lake.
