How to get there
Bus
Recommended
Several bus stops, such as Genève, Théâtre and Place de Neuve, are a short walk from the promenade. Bus lines 3, 5, and 20, as well as tram lines 12, 17, and 18, serve the area.
Train
Recommended
The main railway station, Gare de Cornavin, is a 15-20 minute walk from the promenade. Alternatively, take a short bus or tram ride from the station.
Walking
Recommended
Walking is ideal, especially from central Geneva locations. The promenade is easily accessible on foot from many central points in Geneva, including St. Pierre Cathedral and the Parc des Bastions.
Car
Driving into the Old Town is possible, but parking is limited. The main access road is Rampe de la Treille. Use public garages like Parking Saint-Antoine or Parking du Mont-Blanc.
Ferry
The Genève-Molard (Lac) ferry terminal is the nearest, located about a 10-minute walk from the promenade.
Taxi
Taxis and ride-sharing services can provide direct access to the edge of the Old Town. A convenient drop-off point would be near Place de Neuve or the Hôtel de Ville (City Hall), from which the promenade is a very short walk.
