Geneva Water Fountain

You haven't been to Geneva until you go to this water fountain !! Its really impressive when you get close to it! The breeze makes sure you receive droplets to refresh you ;p

The Water Fountain has graced the center of Geneva's harbor since 1891, where it was initially used for distributing the Rhône's propelling force to the city 's craftspeople.

Try to be there for the morning switch-on. The guy pressing the ON button may even let you do it if you're nice :) (the switch is located on the wooden building next to the jet)

In the winters the fountain is open from 10 to 4. On a cloudy day you might not enjoy against the grey backdrop. Swans and ducks are always there. Enjoy the Geneva shoreline from here.

Jet d'Eau is one of the city 's most famous landmarks , spouting glistening water 140 metres (460 feet) into the air. Get up close and personal with the fountain on the stone jetty.

Standing at it's current location since 1891 for the celebration of the 600th anniversary of Swiss Confederation; 500 litres of water per sec everyday get shot up 140m! What a spectacular sight!

Great tourist attraction , easy way to get wet and/or damage your camera so be careful about the wind!

Turns on exactly at 9 every day, in perfect Swiss fashion! A Geneva must-see!

Getting a closer look, meaning 10m away, is truly magnificent. Especially the rainbow that refracts from its vapor

A must see during Fete de Geneve when it's all lighted up in colors and being surrounded by fireworks

THE symbol of the city ! Impressive when you're really close to it! The view on the city is great, too!

It’s super outstanding landmark , if you are lucky enough you will pass by the purple tree as well ????????

From the top ????

Geneva nothing without the lake & the fountain ... High 140 meter .. 500 liters per sec ... Great view n sunset ...

It’s nice to talk a little walk beside the lake and the fountain .

An interesting focal point whilst walking around this part of Lake Geneva. Mesmerising sight from all viewpoints.

When the wind is just right, you can walk up right tithe base!

take a photo behind it, from the lakeshore! Observe lake bottom's water, free of waste, showing its sand. Give a moment to the lake´s birds.

Fountain water it's one of the landmarks of Geneva ❤️????

Its looks different from different angle, and distance. So move around and have a look again.

Fantastic place I love it .

Visit during sunset , the light through water is noice

An easy attraction to enjoy from many angles, and vantage points

Go under the fountain , you can feel the strong wind and force near it. Careful,.. you might get wet!

Great view ! Amazing on a sunny day

Must see in Geneva

If you're lucky you can see it colored during the night!

If you choose to pass under the arc, which I highly recommend, be prepared to get wet.

Beautiful scene, the swans and the boat ride !

You can come very close to the fountain it's a real fun

Nice fountain ⛲️

Depending on how the wind is blowing, you'll either go away dry or soaking wet.

Iconic location in Geneva!
