Capital of the World
Today, the city of Geneva is the largest center of financial, business, and diplomatic activity in the world. Here are the headquarters of the most influential international organizations – the UN office, the Red Cross, the WTO, etc. This is why the city is often called the “Capital of the World“. Also on its territory, there are many state and private banks, financial enterprises, and corporations, which causes a high interest of foreign investors.

Geneva is considered the most important transport hub in Switzerland. Next to it is one of the largest international airports in the country, the city’s railway station serves direct flights to Milan and Paris, and the lake port provides connections to other settlements on the coast.

The city has well-developed industries that require special precision and professionalism. These include jewelry, machine tools, precision mechanics, electrical engineering, and the watch industry. You can get the knowledge you need for these areas at numerous local universities, colleges, and specialized courses.

The first settlers in the territory of modern Geneva were representatives of Celtic tribes. References to it are found in the treatise where Julius Caesar describes the victory of the legionaries in 58 BC. In the Roman era, the city was a transshipment point for goods. Since 443, it passes into the possession of the Germanic tribe of the Burgundians, in 534-the Franks, and then – the Carolingian Empire. Since the 11th century, it has been under the rule of bishops.

Thanks to Jean Calvin, who promoted his own teachings, Geneva is often called Protestant Rome. He opposed the Catholic bishop, stirring up the local population and provoking a long political struggle for independence. The final chord in the confrontation was the Escalade – the battle in 1602. On the night of December 10-11, the Savoyans made a last attempt to capture the city, but they failed. The event is considered a symbol of Geneva’s independence and is celebrated annually with costumed parades and demonstrations.

Since the 18th century, there has been a rapid development of the social sphere in the city. Jean-Jacques Rousseau starts from here to spread the idea of human rights, Henri Dunant organizes the Red Cross and makes the Swiss coat of arms a symbol of humanity.

Today, Geneva is one of the most prosperous cities in the world. It is often said that there are more rich people living here than unemployed people. Many actors, singers, politicians, and successful businessmen gradually choose this city to buy their own house or apartment.
