The Geneva Water Fountain

When you are in Geneva, you cannot miss it. Landmark from the Canton of Geneva but also symbol of Switzerland. There is a pier leading to the bottom of the Jet if you like to get wet...
The nicest pictures are taken at a certain distance of course and during a boat trip on the lake.

We had a terrific spontaneous evening date by the fountain. We went in summers, so it was open to get wet for people wanting to enjoy getting wet. Although, we went after open hours so spent the evening watching the sunset, the jet, over locally sourced wine and pizza.

Beautiful attraction--the jet looks magnificent even from across the lakeshore. Up close you have a high chance of seeing a rainbow in the mist (provided it's sunny)!

I think the fountain is beautiful! Be aware that it does not run in certain weather, if it's too windy ect! It wasn't on when we first tried to see it. Luckily, later that day it was back on, so we had a walk right up to it! You can get very, very close, so much so that you can literally stand under its spray! Go careful though, it looks very slippy! The weather wasn't great the first day we went, but we went back 2 days later when it was sunny, and boy am I glad we did! The rainbows it creates in the sunshine are stunning! We sat nearby for our lunch, and it was the perfect spot to just sit in the sun and chill watching the fountain! Picture perfect!

Of course a must go and impossible to miss when visiting Geneva. We adventured out and ran under the jet stream and got pretty wet. So try not to do it in cold weather. It’s magnificent and one of the kind.

High speed fountain ⛲ 140m tall with a lot of pressure!!!

The tallest fountain in Geneva is the Jet d'Eau. It is located in Lake Geneva, at the point where the Rhône River exits the lake.

This is the most iconic feature of Geneva, visible from almost everywhere. Depending on the wind, you can get very wet! You can go out along the walkway to the base where the water emerges. An explanatory panel onshore details the history of the fountain - I was surprised to learn it dates from 1886.

Please be advised that the fountain at this location operates intermittently, subject to weather conditions. We recommend checking its availability prior to visiting, as it may not be consistently active. However, we were fortunate to witness its impressive display on our final evening.
