[2025 Geneva Attraction] Travel Guide for Museum of Art and History (Updated Jul)

#cheaptravel 📍 Location: Geneva 🛥 Free Boat Rides: With a Geneva Transport Card (free with most hotels and hostels), hop on Mouettes — small yellow boats that cross the lake like water taxis. 🎨 No-Cost Culture: Visit Musée d’Art et d’Histoire or UN headquarters with free entry or cheap student prices. 🧀 Budget Dining: Try cheese fondue in the student-dense Plainpalais area where cafés offer deals from CHF 10–15.

The products inside are very good, the guidance is very reasonable, I personally feel that this is the most worthwhile oriental-style museum in Europe
