This is a real hole in the wall Thai restaurant - don't let the name deceive you, there is no sushi served here. There are about 10 chairs inside and the owner is a spunky older lady that is very nice. The best and most affordable green curry in Geneva is here!

Parks & Nature
Definitely worth going to if you like nature! The botanical garden is only about a 25 minute walk (10 min by bus) from the apartment and has a free zoo in it! There's also a walking path that will take you to the lakefront. One of my favorite places to go.

Cool park on top of a hill near the city center with a small free zoo in it that I really enjoy going to. There are some hiking paths around it, great for people who like going into nature.

The best views of the city can be found here at the Saleve. There is a cable car that will take you up to the top, or you can hike for about 2.5 hours on a clearly marked intermediate terrain. It's located in France but there is public transport that will take you to the border where you walk over and head up. It's definitely worth doing!
