Walk down the Main Street and take a leisurely stroll or a guided tour through the paved streets of the city center, passing through the Town Hall. Join the charming Bourg-de-Four plaza and return to the Ramp de la Treille where you will find the longest wooden bench in the world, with its 126 meters. The Bastions Park, the most marvelous park in Geneva is home to the University of the City and the monument dedicated to the protagonists of the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century - the Wall of Reformers. You will see both students and curious travelers, enjoying this green setting in the center. In front of the park is the Grand Theater of Geneva. Make sure to visit the Maison Tavel, which is medieval house and now the museum of reference on the history of Geneva, between paintings, items and other historical objects. In the attic is the Magnin Relief, an impressive model of the fortified city in 1850. The visit of the permanent collections is free. The neo-classical St. Peter's Cathedral became the Protestant church of Geneva during the Reformation.
