About Saint Pierre In Geneva

Saint Pierre Cathedral is old Geneva’s main church.

It is more than 850 years old and located in the middle of Geneva’s Old Town, overlooking the city. The home of Saint Pierre Geneva is a mixture of various architectural styles ranging from Gothic to Ancient. Saint Pierre Cathedral is 64 meters tall and has old and spacious interiors. The Church is the perfect place to visit for history buffs.

Near the Saint Pierre Geneva there is an Archaeological Site, on it stands a little Museum. It comprises many artifacts such as the Roman Crypts, The Allobroges Tomb and Audio show portraying the history of the church. In the south corner of Saint Pierre Cathedral is the Chapel of Maccabee. It is decorated with beautiful Goth paintings.

There are two towers at Saint Pierre Geneva with long spiral staircase to get a 360-degree view of Geneva and Geneva Lake. The North Tower is preferred to be visited in rainy weather as it has a spacious wooden room and closed window. For other weathers, one can visit the South Tower for a walk on the open balcony for some fresh air. Both the towers are connected at the half height of the towers by a corridor, where you can see the entire rooftop of the Saint Pierre Cathedral.    

On every Saturday and during the Geneva Music Festival, concerts take place in the Saint Pierre’s Cathedral. Concerts by various orchestras or musical bands light up the church every week. During the concert the towers are closed to the public. One other small attraction near the church is Jan Kalvin’s Triangular Stool, where reportedly Jan Kalvin used to work.

To the north of Saint Pierre Cathedral are the International Museum of Reformation and Museum of Arts and History, which hosts some significant historical artifacts. The atmosphere around the church is very peaceful and is a site not to be missed.

Ratnika's 9 days trip to Geneva

The travel agent was very supportive and always available whenever we needed assistance, which we truly appreciated. However, our overall experience could have been even better with a more detailed and well-structured itinerary. Having clearer information in advance would have helped us avoid last-minute confusion and stress at the destination

Swati's 7 days trip to Geneva

We went to Switzerland and Austria in a group of 3 girls. Special thanks to Anmol for accommodating last minute cancellation and making sure we still did not end up paying extra and also for suggesting some great places to visit in Switzerland. Big thanks to Aniket for being with us from start to end and even during late night hours while we were on the trip. Very few agents go the extra mile to provide personalised service and guidance at each step. We were provided the best of hotels, each one near public transport. They even shared clear guidelines on how to reach every spot. I would definitely recommend Knowravel for planning Europe trips and I myself will avail their services repeatedly.
