Situated in the Old Town, a short walk from the Lake and main shopping centre. Nice to sit outside at the pavement cafes and enjoy a meal, drink or ice-cream.

Very little traffic, several restaurants and places for coffee with outside seating. Two of our restaurants were right there. It's typically European and photographable, without a lot of tourists.

A very nice square. The weather wasn't the best when I was there, but I'm sure once the sun comes out it's a great place to just sit down and relax.

It is exactly like a "pictoresque" square should look like, for its position, the flowers, the enchanting fountain, the small cafes and restaurants where there is always someone having rest.

It's one of the nicest (and oldest) squares in Geneva. Worth spending time watching the locals and tourists coming through

It does not matter if you like beer, hot chocolate or you prefer people watching- Place Bourg du Four is the place to be. And the couple art galleries around are fun to browse.

This is the heart of Geneva.It is in the middle of Geneva's old city and close to most major attractions.Take time to have a drink on the terrasse of the small cafés' while seeping up the sun. Just relax and watch Geneva pass by.

This place is in the heart of Geneva, in the Old Town. Beyond the fact it is very close to a number of attractions in Geneva (Cathedral, Reformation Wall, La Treille (with the longest bench in the world), ...), it is very nice to have a coffee or a drink there. And the warmer the weather, the more people out... More
