Geneva is the second most populous city in Switzerland (after Zürich), and is the most populous city of Romandy (the French-speaking part of Switzerland). Geneva is widely regarded as a global city, mainly due to the presence of numerous international organizations, including the European headquarters of the United Nations. A 2006 survey found Geneva to have the second highest quality of living in the world (again, after Zürich).

Notable sights in Geneva include the International Museum of the Reformation, the Reformation Wall, the Flower Clock, the

Art and History Museum, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum and the Palais des Nations, which serves as the European headquarters of the United Nations.

The city's most visited monument is the Saint-Pierre Cathedral, located at Cour Saint-Pierre, a noteworthy space of unique spiritual and cultural importance. The Cathedral and towers, which both embody the high point of the Reformed tradition and explores the origins of Christianity in its archaeological site, is now complemented by the International Museum of the Reformation, on the ground floor of the Maison Mallet. An underground passage, reopened when the Museum was created, connects the two buildings and a pass is now available for visitors to enjoy all three areas.

In 2000, Geneva was awarded the Wakker Prize for the development and preservation of its architectural heritage.
