Annecy Walking Tour

Discover Annecy, an important trip for any Alpine holiday, exploring a beautiful city in France known as "the Venice of the Alps."

Itinerary

We will meet in the center of Geneva before taking a bus to Annecy, a medieval city in the French Alps.

After a journey of less than an hour, we will start a guided walking tour along the city's alleys and canals. During this 45-minute tour, you will learn about the history of Annecy, including its role in the counter-reformation, as it served as a base for the Catholic Church against the spread of John Calvin's ideas.

We will see major landmarks such as Annecy Castle and Palais de l'Isle, a historical site that has served various purposes since the Middle Ages and now hosts a museum.

You will have two hours of free time to explore Annecy at your leisure, enjoying the bridges, narrow streets, and artisan boutiques, along with opportunities to relax by the canals.

The tour will conclude with a return to the central bus station in Geneva.
