You haven't been to Geneva until you go to this water fountain!! Its really impressive when you get close to it! The breeze makes sure you receive droplets to refresh you ;p

The Water Fountain has graced the center of Geneva's harbor since 1891, where it was initially used for distributing the Rhône's propelling force to the city's craftspeople.

Try to be there for the morning switch-on. The guy pressing the ON button may even let you do it if you're nice :) (the switch is located on the wooden building next to the jet)

In the winters the fountain is open from 10 to 4. On a cloudy day you might not enjoy against the grey backdrop. Swans and ducks are always there. Enjoy the Geneva shoreline from here.

Jet d'Eau is one of the city's most famous landmarks, spouting glistening water 140 metres (460 feet) into the air. Get up close and personal with the fountain on the stone jetty.

Standing at it's current location since 1891 for the celebration of the 600th anniversary of Swiss Confederation; 500 litres of water per sec everyday get shot up 140m! What a spectacular sight!

Great tourist attraction, easy way to get wet and/or damage your camera so be careful about the wind!

Turns on exactly at 9 every day, in perfect Swiss fashion! A Geneva must-see!

Getting a closer look, meaning 10m away, is truly magnificent. Especially the rainbow that refracts from its vapor

A must see during Fete de Geneve when it's all lighted up in colors and being surrounded by fireworks

An interesting focal point whilst walking around this part of Lake Geneva. Mesmerising sight from all viewpoints.

take a photo behind it, from the lakeshore! Observe lake bottom's water, free of waste, showing its sand. Give a moment to the lake´s birds.

Its looks different from different angle, and distance. So move around and have a look again.

If you choose to pass under the arc, which I highly recommend, be prepared to get wet.

You can come very close to the fountain it's a real fun

Depending on how the wind is blowing, you'll either go away dry or soaking wet.
