Geneva Water Fountain

Genève · Genève

Geneva's emblem, shooting lake water 140 metres into the sky.

Full description

The Jet d'eau is Geneva's most recognisable landmark. Set at the mouth of Lake Geneva, it pushes around 500 litres of water per second up to 140 metres high. Visible from much of the city, it is best admired up close from the Eaux-Vives pier, especially in the late-afternoon light.
