Geneva (French: Genève, German: Genf) is a city in the south west of Switzerland close to the border with France.
Transport
It's possible to blackride buses and trams (drivers don't check). The frequency of controllers is unknown.
You can borrow a free bicycle during summer (?April - October). You need to give your id/passport, fill some paperwork and give deposit of 20 EUR/CHF and you can use the bicycle for 4 hours. After that you need to pay some money per hour. One station is on the promenade of Quai du Mont Blanc. You need to return the bike at 19 - 21 in the evening to somewhere.
