Geneva Street Map Poster

Geneva sits at the very tip of its crescent-shaped lake, and that geometry defines the whole street map. The Rhône River pours out of Lake Geneva and cuts the city in two, with the hilltop Vieille Ville old town and its cobbled lanes rising on the left bank and the lakeside district of Eaux-Vives spreading along the right. The famous Jet d’Eau marks the harbour like a pin on the page.

North of the centre, the international district — home to the United Nations and the Red Cross — gives this Switzerland city map an unusually orderly, institutional grid, while the medieval core around the cathedral stays tight and irregular. The contrast between planned and organic streets is exactly what makes the printable poster so satisfying to study.

Rendered in clean lines, the curve of the lake and the bridges across the Rhône turn into elegant wall art. Browse other Switzerland city maps to build a set, or pair it with the Lausanne map poster for two lakefront street maps from French-speaking Switzerland.
