When the mercury drops, Geneva’s Conservatory and Botanical Garden — the largest in the country, located in the international district — offers the perfect way to warm up with a visit to the greenhouses. The domed centennial Winter Garden (built in 1911) is a sophisticated Victorian-era greenhouse, where palm trees rub shoulders with coffee bushes, cacao trees, and papaya trees. The modern Tropical Greenhouse is home to 386 different species, mimics different types of humid, tropical forests, and is complete with air plants and orchids. Open daily from 8-17:00 until late March (open until 20:00 after that).
