Right in the heart of Geneva, Switzerland, lies the district of Carouge, a place that many locals call “small Italy.” This is because you’ll see plenty of Sardinian heritage here—in the architecture of the homes, street names, and the ambiance of its shops, bistros, and cafes. Here, you’ll also feel like you’re in the French Riviera. It’s because town planners modeled it after Nice. That weird feeling of being in another country is further underscored by the bohemian vibe in Carouge’s cafes, nightclubs, and bars. In fact, the place is also called the “Greenwich village of Geneva”, as you’ll see craftsmen of every kind selling their wares in its boutiques and shops.
During warm summer days, Carouge offers visitors a refreshing retreat in its outdoor swimming pool, known as the Piscine de la Fontenette. The district also features lovely walking and cycling paths along the banks of the Arve River—perfect for romantic strollers, runners, and cyclists. Carouge also has a huge shopping center called the Centre Commercial de Carouge. To fully enjoy this Swiss destination, stay in one of these top 10 Airbnb vacation rentals in Carouge, Switzerland.
