We recommend a visit to the Protestant Cathedral of St. Peter, and its Chapel of the Maccabees, at the rear. Here you can admire the copies of the frescoes (the originals are in the Museum of Art and History of Geneva) that covered it and the decorated stained glass windows that illuminate it from above. Then go to the International Monument to the Reformation, a majestic 100-meter wall, on which tall statues stand out, celebrating the main exponents of the Reformation, together with other illustrious protagonists linked to Geneva such as John Calvin, William I of Orange and Oliver Cromwell . Visit the Palace of Nations, the European headquarters of the UN: through a guided tour you will be able to learn about the history and activities of these international organizations, as well as discover unique environments such as the Assembly Hall, the Consultation Hall, completely decorated with murals by José Maria Sert, and the Sala dei Passi Perduti, from which you can admire the external park with the Celestial Sphere. Geneva deserves a walk through the small streets that characterize it, where you can find antique shops, art galleries, wine bars and clubs, all perfectly harmonized in the 1700s architecture.
