Tip
Geneva's biggest museum. Technically free. A Picasso, a Chagall, a giant cow, a bubble you can sit inside, and a beautiful café in the basement.

Musée d'Art et d'Histoire

The weaponry rooms are also genuinely interesting. The gun cabinet looks like something from a Wes Anderson film. The sword display is properly medieval — the kind of thing you don't expect to just be standing in front of, free, on a Tuesday.

The café downstairs is the kind of place you'd go to specifically if you knew about it. Most people don't.
