Our guide
Our recommendations
- Base yourself around the Pâquis district - home to the main synagogue, the Chabad house and the kosher restaurants.
- Arrange Shabbat and holiday meals in advance with the local Chabad house.
Stay in the kosher area of Geneva
Geneva does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. Chabad Genève (Chabad house listed on the site) is the anchor - book a hotel within walking distance of it rather than picking a random part of Geneva.
To count as a booking, finish it in the same window after you click - it isn't saved for tomorrow.
