THE ROUTE

A concentrated district circuit

The tour concentrates on one Geneva neighborhood, using its compact streets to deliver a tight 2‑hour exploration that favors side roads and close observation over long-distance riding.

THE ART

Art tucked into corners and facades

Look closely and take side streets

The guiding idea is simple — detours and a slower pace expose unexpected artworks; the route privileges observation and short stops to absorb context.
