Driving Tips for Geneva

While Geneva may be known for its modern, well-planned road system, reviewing our driving tips will help you make the most of your time on the roads.

  • Speed Limits: Expect speed limits of 50 kph (30 mph) and up to 120 kph (75 mph) on the highways. Keep in mind that the speed limit may change rapidly.
  • Headlights: You must drive with your headlights on regardless of the time of day.
  • Buses: Buses in Geneva have the right of way. Once a bus signals to join traffic, you must let it enter.
  • Mountain Roads: On narrow mountain roads outside of Geneva, the driver going uphill has the right of way. If it’s safe for you to pull over, even if you have the right of way, we recommend letting the other vehicle pass.

Best places to visit in and around Geneva

A SIXT car rental in Geneva is the best way to arrive at meetings in comfort and travel to destinations outside the city. Add these places to your Geneva bucket list:

  • The Geneva Water Fountain: The great water fountain, or Jet d’Eau, in Geneva is a must-see. The fountain starts in the morning and operates until late in the evening. The best spot for a selfie is perhaps the Promenade du Lac (on the left bank of the lake).
  • Plainpalais Flea Market: In Plaine de Plainpalais, a big open space, you will find a large flea market where you can buy books, clothes, and discover little treasures for your home.
  • Lake Geneva Loop: This route takes you from Geneva and along the shores of Lake Geneva, providing views of historic houses, vineyards, and the Swiss and French Alps. Stop for lunch at a small town, such as Lausanne or Vevey.
