Getting yourself around Geneva is pretty breezy, considering the range of transport at your disposal. The city is efficiently serviced by buses, trolley buses and trams (including night buses at weekends). Tickets are available from dispensers at stops. Week-long passes do represent good value if you are staying longer than a few days.

If you choose to drive in Geneva, you will be greeted by pretty restricted parking, so catch a taxi instead. Rates are cheaper within the city limits, and you can find a taxi either outside the station or by phoning for one. You can take the healthy option and hire a bike for a day or half-day. If you want to save some dough you can borrow a bike, carrying publicity, for free (only from May to October) from Genev' Roule .

By boat, CGN offers daytime excursions hourly on the lake when the weather is good. There are also full-day, half-day and evening cruises. Ticket offices and departures are on Quai du Mont-Blanc and by Jardin Anglais. Smaller companies operate many similar excursions and small boats (mouettes) cross between Geneva's two shores.
