Parc des Bastions

  Parc des Bastions sits in the heart of Geneva, just a short stroll from the University of Geneva and the impressive Reformation Wall. Established in 1880, this park is known for its beautiful sculptures and the iconic giant chess boards that attract both locals and visitors. Spanning over 30,000 square meters, it serves as a tranquil escape for picnicking and leisurely walks, perfect for enjoying the fresh air. In the spring months of April and May, cherry blossoms bloom, adding a colorful touch to the landscape. Visitors can explore the serene pathways, admire the statues, and even engage in a friendly chess match on the outdoor boards.
