Expensive, Of course this is probably the most famous of the cities for the League of Nations that started there at the Hotel De Ville. It is also known for 18th Century Mansions, Jean-Jaques Rouseau and Artwork by Picasso, Renoir, and Chagalle?
Trains: To Interlaken
cost: $ 50
Flights: to Paris
Bus- Day Pass: $6-15 and it Runs 5:30am to around Midnight. Probably the best way to get around during our visit. I didn't see anything about subways, but that might be to confusing.
