Hi all!

I’ll be flying to Geneva next week and would like to bring my boyfriend a souvenir.

He’s into watches and usually wears 20mm watch bracelet.

And where better to get it then from Geneva!

I looked online and found this store: Bracelet Workshop Sàrl Atelier du Bracelet Sàrl. Anyone who has experience with this shop or has a recommendation for a good place?

- Looking for a leather band.
- Thinking either black of brown, nothing too crazy.
- Has to be either available on the day itself or within 3/4 days.
- Would be cool if you could customize is with initials but not a must.
- budget max 150chf

Hello! I recently started playing tennis (and not great at it) and I’m looking for someone to practice with who’s also a beginner (or someone more experienced who’s patient and doesn’t mind running a bit).
I’m in my 30s, if that’s relevant. Happy to rally, get some exercise and improve together! (Preferably somewhere reachable by bike form Geneva center)

Hi all! I am interested in becoming a pilates instructor and was hoping to hear from anyone who's currently teaching (or owns a studio). Curious about:

• What's the typical pay per class?
• Are most instructors employees or independent/freelance?
• If you're freelance, is it usually a flat fee per class, revenue share, or something else?
• Which arrangement seems to be more common in Geneva?

Feel free to DM me if you'd rather not post publicly. Thanks in advance!

I really want to improve my skills since I feel the current stagnation in social dancing sessions.

Hallo!

I'll be visiting Geneva late Sept and looking for some recommendations for my interests. If anyone also has any tips/advice navigating the city, that would be much appreciated!

My interests are:

- Nerdy shops (anime, manga, figures etc)

- Nature (beginner hiking routes, things to do around lake Geneva)

- Big foodie (authentic Swiss food, where do the locals go?)

- Independent shops (I love supporting small businesses)

- Enamel pins (I collect pins of places I've visited)

- Self care activities

Thank you all in advance ^_^

Je remarque qu'il y a beaucoup de magasins africains dans le centre de Genève (vêtements, artisanat, produits alimentaires, salons de coiffure avec leurs propres produits, etc.).

Pour les Genevois-es d'origine africaine : est-ce que vous trouvez que ces magasins proposent généralement des produits authentiques et de bonne qualité, ou est-ce qu'il y en a certains qui donnent plutôt une image très stéréotypée ou destinée aux touristes ?

Pour donner un exemple avec mon propre pays d'origine (l'Espagne) :

Des exemples que je considérerais comme authentiques :

- produits alimentaires de marques espagnoles connues (El Pozo, Casa Tarradellas, poudre de cuajada, callos en conserve, torreznos, lomo adobado, etc.)

- poteries de Malaga

- parfums ou marques espagnoles reconnues (Adolfo Domínguez)

Des exemples plus "clichés touristiques" :

- robes de flamenco bas de gamme

- sculptures de taureaux

- castagnettes

- produits vaguement "espagnols" de mauvaise qualité

Je me demande donc comment les personnes issues des différentes communautés africaines de Genève perçoivent ces commerces.

// english below

Saluut :)

Je me permets de partager ce message, car je suis à la recherche de personnes qui :

- aiment les musiques alternatives (metal, punk hardcore, nightcore, breakcore, emotional wave, ...)

- s'intéressent aux contre-cultures, à la culture Internet, ...

- sont créatifs (design, art, musique, photo, vidéo, sape...) ou juste curieux

- auraient envie de rencontrer du monde qui partage ce genre d'intérêts

J'ai l'impression qu'il y a du potentiel à Genève / Suisse romande, mais que tout est un peu dispersé.

Pas d'idée trop précise pour l'instant. Juste créer un espace où discuter, aller à des concerts, partager des réfs, et pourquoi pas ensuite, organiser des petits events, monter des fanzines, des expos ou d'autres projets.

Si ça vous parle, n'hésitez pas à commenter ou à m'envoyer un DM ! 

Pour me présenter en vitesse : H25, je viens de gnv et je fais du design. J'écoute beaucoup de black metal, de hard/death/core, mais aussi de la breakcore (j'ai récemment découvert l'extratone T_T), de l'hyperpop (jima, seraphim...), et plein d'autres trucs.

Heyy

I'm looking for people who are into :

- alternative musics (metal, punk hardcore, breakcore, nighctore, emotional wave, ...)

- underground and internet cultures

- creatives stuffs (design, music, art, photo, video, fashion, ...) or simply curious

It feels like there's a lot of potential around here, but everything is quite scattered. The idea for now is to meet people, share stuffs, go to concert, and maybe in a scd time organize small events, zines, or creatives projects.

If this sounds exciting, feel free to comment or dm me!

About me : m25, i'm from geneva and work in design. I'm into black metal, hard/deathcore, breakcore (recently discover extratone T_T), french hyperpop (jima, seraphim), and many others. :)

It's been more than 3 months already that I notified my change of canton to Geneva, and still no answer.

How long did it take for you to get an answer? Changing from another canton to Geneva EU citizen having already a B permit.

Donc, pour l'exemple de Bruno, qui fait garder ses 3 enfants pour 6300.-, calculons l'ampleur de la polémique :

3 enfant en même temps, c'est 1 tarif plein, 1 demi tarif, et 1/4 de tarif, ca veut donc dire que Bruno et juste sous la limite de 3625, ce qui veut dire que son revenu familial est juste sous les 260'000 fr par année.

La famille de Bruno gagne 21 boules par mois, et va payer 3600 pour faire garder ses 3 marmots dans le public, et il a le souffle d'aller se plaindre dans les media.

I have a friend in Geneva who came from Mauritius and he has never seen or touch the snow (his lowest temperature ever lived is 15°C).

Hios dream is to see and touch the snow in real but we are in July in full heat.

Do you have some recommendation to do a little trip (not too far from Geneva) where we can do that without a hiking (ideally accesible with a cable car or funiculaire).

I checked Glacier 3000 but on the web cam it does not seem to have snow, I tried at Chamonix but also I did not see so much snow but I could have missed the right webcam.

Thanks a lot for your help !

My GP recently prescribed sildenafil 100 mg. As I understand it, this medication is not covered by Swiss basic health insurance.

Does anyone know roughly how much it costs at pharmacies in France, or whether it may be cheaper in another nearby European country?

Does any Swiss supplementary insurance plans cover it?

Any recent personal experience would be very helpful. Please feel free to DM me if you would rather not comment publicly.

Thank you in advance!

Hello! I am visiting the above countries at the end of July and I will be in Europe for only 10 days, but I am hoping to make some new connections/friends while I am there. I am visiting my buddy in France and we driving all over and may take the train from time to time, but I thought I would get a head start on making some friends/a tour guide/a couch surfing experience. In exchange, we can do the same for you if/when you come to Canada to visit us! We both in our early 30’s, very active, friendly, goofy, and like to party responsibly (raves/disco. If you are interested in connecting send me a dm and we can exchange socials or something and go from there!

Y'all know any alternative "hidden" places? Or discos, hangout stops, rooftops? I'm trynna find a nice place to hangout and get to know new ppl

new from Indonesia.

Is there an Indonesian community in Geneva please?

Found this beautiful white embroidered dress draped over a bench right in front of the Villa. Honestly, sitting next to it while reading a book feels like the start of a rom-com, but yeah, realistically someone just forgot it.

If it’s yours, come rescue it! I’ll be here for a while. If not, I’ll leave it safely right here on the bench.

I've just come back from a first-time trip to Geneva, and I was surprised by how common AI-generated posts were. Restaurant menus, event announcements, everything. Even at the airport.

There's clearly a defining style that makes them quite obvious to spot, and they're, in my opinion, very ugly.

ETA: One menu somewhere close to Petit-Saconnex even had "CHE" instead of "CHF."

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to identify an aircraft I saw parked at Geneva Airport (GVA) this morning, Sunday, July 19, 2026, at around 7:10 AM.

Here is what I remember:

- It was a medium-to-large passenger aircraft, but not something huge like an A380.

- It was completely or almost completely white.

- I couldn't see any airline logo or recognizable livery.

- The aircraft registration was written on the vertical stabilizer (tail), in the area where an airline logo would normally be.

- I vaguely remember the registration starting with "A6-" or "A.-", but I'm not 100% sure about this.

- The aircraft was parked in the parking area approximately around https://maps.app.goo.gl/zLgMT98b7QLxpM8G9?g_st=ac (46,2448230, 6,1251683).

- I think it may have arrived the previous day (Saturday, July 18) and remained parked overnight.

Does anyone know which aircraft this could have been?

Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

This is a mild rant for bus 1. I understand the crisis that Geneva is in, but this is a key line in the city, and it is always late or cancelled. You miss one bus, then next one is in 28min even though per time table should be less than 10. Has anyone also noticed this?

On dirait un Urbex.

C'est bizarre, il y a deux mois c'était pimpant.

Bon, voilà une partie de mon enfance et adolescence partie en poussière.

Waited until our gate was called (not knowing any better, and as I've done in many airports) and missed our flight today due to long queue at passport control. Three separate queue ushers refused to let us move up the queue despite our flight showing as "last call" on screens because they hadn't personally been radioed by the airline. Gate was the furthest from the controls and travelling in a party with motor impaired members. Absolutely shambolic performance.

Don't get caught out and go through security asap - it's the same control desks for non shengen flights: follow the signs for C gates.

Edit: Apparently there are different controls queues for different gates... So sometimes you're just buggered ?

Hello,

Anyone wanting to train his serves in tennis? Currently I want to train mainly my serves to develop proper technique.

So ideally someone who'd like to train his serves too, so we can just send to each other the balls during 1 hour session, with eventually some trades.

Background: Just got back into tennis, took 2 lessons with a coach, and he told me I may be somewhere around R8 level right now (beginner / lower-intermediate), but I'm motivated to improve.

I live on the ground floor of an apartment and have a backyard so i decided to set up a pool for my kids but the upstairs neighbors keep on throwing cigarettes inside, i dont think they will stop even if we tell the regi, what can i do?
