Geneva is beautiful day and night. Though it has always been amazing, the view of Geneva during the day is different from the view offered at night. However, it’s not only the views that are different, the activities that you can enjoy are also different. In the morning, for example, it is best to visit the parks, museums and zoo because these places are closed at night. But in the evening, you will be offered different kinds of entertainment. You’ll also find plenty of budget hotels and Airbnb vacation rentals if you’re wondering where to stay. If you want to have the greatest nights in Geneva, here are the 7 best things you can put on your nocturnal itinerary:
1. Be entertained by ballet, opera and comedy performances at Theatre du Leman
What used to be a casino of the Grand Hotel Kempinski, Theatre du Leman is now one of the most popular theaters in Geneva. This commercial theater offers various superb programs, including world-class ballet, opera and comedy performances. Located on the upmarket right bank of the Lake Geneva, this venue attracts visitors who enjoy the aforementioned performances and those who want to gain some insight about the Swiss culture.

2. Sit back and watch classical music concerts at Victoria Hall
Exceptional music concerts in a magnificent concert hall, you cannot ask for better entertainment! The beautiful concert hall with neo-Baroque decor was built between the years of 1891 to 1894 as a tribute to the Queen of England. Situated not far from the Music Conservatory and the Grand Theatre, the Victoria Hall is home to classical music, which makes this venue a must-visit for classical music lovers. Some of the world-renowned orchestras and performers, such as the Geneva Chamber Music Orchestra and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, are regular visitors of the Victoria Hall. However, if you happen to be one of those people who find the classical music less appealing, we suggest that you still visit the Victoria Hall and spend some time to marvel at the architecture alone.
