Long regarded as a global city, Geneva, Switzerland, is the headquarters location for many international organizations, including the United Nations. Its waterfront on Lake Geneva is probably the city's biggest asset-it is a glorious place to stroll and watch the swans and ducks on the water. The impressive fountain propels water to 460 feet in the air. Be sure to snap photos of the Flower Clock, an actual working clock whose dial is made of more than 6,500 flowers and whose second hand is the largest in the world, at more than 8 feet long. It's located at the edge of the pretty English Garden.
