    Switzerland's largest historical city, the Old Town in Geneva is dominated by St. Peter's Cathedral, the centre of the Reformation. The small cobblestone streets tell its story through small squares, historic buildings, mysterious museums and famous secret passages that are well-kept by the residents. A journey to the heart of Old Geneva, between medieval heritage and beloved legends.
    Place Bourg-de-Four, the ideal place for a drink on a terrace in the cosy atmosphere of the Old Town, is the oldest square in Geneva. Trade fairs used to be held here, and lovers of historical architecture will notice the typical narrow houses that characterise the city. Moreover, visitors will notice that some of the buildings have been strangely extended upwards. The idea actually came in the 15th century when many Protestant refugees came to Geneva and the city was reaching saturation point. A solution had to be found to accommodate everyone.
    St. Peter’s Cathedral dominates Geneva from the heart of the Old Town. A major historical landmark, it was built in the 12th century and underwent numerous transformations over the centuries before becoming the symbol of the Protestant Reformation. 157 steps lead to the top of its tower, but the panoramic view that awaits you is worth the effort! You may hear the ringing of La Clémence, the most famous bell in the cathedral, which traditionally protects it with its prayers and weighs no less than 6 tons. In the basement of the Cathedral there is an archaeological site that will delight the most curious. Concerts are held in the Cathedral all year round. The atmosphere here immerses us in music and history.

    Oh yes, a lovely serene place, loving people traffic, farther than motorized traffic, liking how the architecture blends in, it is not over powering.
    This beautiful place feels like it shares its soul, rather than it over takes everything, thanks Will as always a joyous video 👍👍
