Life in Geneva is expensive, and it's hard to secure lodging for yourself unless you want to (and can afford to) check into a hotel.

If you don't speak French, you'll have a hard time finding a job, and if you have no job, you're not going to have a great time. Unless, again, you have a very cozy allowance.

Generally speaking, you may want to read:

I don't know what else to tell you but I'm happy to try and answer any specific questions you might have.

A lot of info have been compiled here: http://wikitravel.org/en/Geneva and yes it is expensive ! It's a city of banks and trading companies, so rent is through the roof for businesses. Some restaurants are worth their dime, far from the banks !

Try 'Too good to go' app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.tgtg you'll need to be quick to get the deals but if you favourite the participating stores around Rive, you'll get some nice stuff very cheaply

There is one in Eaux Vives here : https://maps.app.goo.gl/Pgc5oX87nmPR2Tv79

The Déchets Genève app is quite handy. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.ville_geneve.dechets&gl=US

A very useful book.

Hi /u/so-meta21, you need to get this book or you might make some costly mistakes like not converting your license on time.

Obviously you can get it in other places than Amazon.

The best exchange rate is at money&com, just above the cornavin station. I have looked into this because I work for abroad and can definetly state you won´t find a better physical exchange.

The only alternative option that I found with better rates is using WISE and transferring to a swiss bank account in order to withdraw the money from the ATM.

It doesn't appear on google maps, but it should be here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=46.20706&mlon=6.14177#map=19/46.20706/6.14177

NB: it's been a year that I haven't been there. I hope it hasn't closed. Cheers

I filmed this within walking distance of Geneva's city centre near Pont Butin. It is a beautiful location and worth a visit.

> secure your bike properly, because it will get stolen

This. You'll also need to buy a real and good lock, I heard the most effective and cheapest are these kind of bike locks.
