Getting there Gare de Cornavin — you're already here

The main station. Most people treat it as a place to pass through rather than somewhere to be. That's the right instinct generally — but there's one thing here worth knowing about before you board.

The Swiss intercity trains have a restaurant car. White tablecloth, Alps out the window, proper food and wine at 200km/h. It's not expensive. Nobody seems to know it exists.
