Reisen til Geneve
Det var i begynnelsen av sommer 2018 jeg fikk invitasjon av venner til å besøke Sveits. Jeg var veldig glad og 12. juni reiste jeg fra Norge til Geneve. Da jeg var nærmere til Geneve fikk jeg spektakulært utsikt gjennom vinduet. I løpet av 3 timer var framme på destinasjon min, Geneve flyplass.
Genevra is the second-most populous city in Switzerland (after Zürich) and the most populous city of Romandy, the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Situated where the Rhône exits Lake Geneva, it is the capital of the Republic and Canton of Geneva.
The municipality (ville de Genève) has a population (as of December 2018) of 201,818, and the canton (essentially the city and its inner-ring suburbs) has 499,480 residents. Within Swiss territory, the commuter area named «Métropole lémanique» contains a population of 1.26 million. This area is essentially spread east from Geneva towards the Riviera area (Vevey, Montreux) and north-east towards Yverdon-les-Bains, in the neighbouring canton of Vaud.
Geneva is a global city, a financial centre, and a worldwide centre for diplomacy due to the presence of numerous international organizations, including the headquarters of many agencies of the United Nations and the Red Cross. Geneva hosts the highest number of international organizations in the world. It is also where the Geneva Conventions were signed, which chiefly concern the treatment of wartime non-combatants and prisoners of war.
