Le Jet d'Eau

Quai Général Guisan, Geneva, Switzerland

 

Paris has the Eiffel Tower, New York the Statue of Liberty and Geneva its Jet d'Eau. This majestic 140m water fountain, the tallest in the world, is the main emblem of the city, and one which cannot be missed. Its beauty dominates the lakefront and at night, when it is lit up, it is a breathtaking and romantic sight.

The fountain became a tourist attraction in 1891. It is on every day, from the beginning of March to mid-October, from 9.30am to 11.15pm, as long as it is not too windy. It projects 500 litres of water per second at the unbelievable speed of 200km/hr. You can walk along the jetty and get a closer look at the fountain, as long as you don't mind being sprayed.
