About Geneva Train Station
While it’s a popular travel destination for skiing, Switzerland’s cities are surprisingly underexplored by international travelers. Cities like Geneva offer plenty of the cultural and historical appeal that French and German counterparts provide, and the smaller layout might even make for a more pleasant experience. Geneva’s city center, with its cobbled Old Town and waterfront overlooking Lake Geneva, is as attractive and charming a place as you’ll find. It’s also remarkably simple to travel to, with Geneva Cornavin Train Station (also known as Geneva Station among a few other monikers) being well-connected to other cities in Switzerland and Europe.
It’s a very easy train station for many travelers to use as plenty of Geneva’s best features are within walking distance. This is why so many tourists use luggage storage on travel days. The Bounce luggage storage service is the most useful, with our main spot at Rue de Lausanne 30 and other locations throughout Geneva.
