Switzerland’s second biggest city is just a hop, skip and a jump away from Luxembourg, making it the perfect weekend getaway for you and your other half. So why not leave all your troubles behind, and indulge in a spot of well-earned retail therapy, get glammed up and sample a cocktail of nocturnal delights.

For madame, make Septième Étage your first port of call. This boutique is filled with lovingly-chosen limited editions and one-off pieces that you’ll not find anywhere else. With many American brands to chose from, it’s a little bite of the Big Apple in Geneva. Meanwhile, monsieur can check out the latest wares at Correspondances, a trendy menswear store selling exclusive brands and slick threads. And to make sure you’re both kitted out from head to toe, make Zazaou your rendezvous point. Can’t decide between flats, sneakers, sandals or stilettos? Buy them all, we promise we won’t tell!

To go with your fine new threads, you’ll both need a chic new do. At Le Bal des Créateurs you can kill many birds with one stone, as at this bookshop-cum-fashion concept store you can also grab a juice at the bar, or pamper yourself at their hair and beauty salon! With so much to keep you entertained, you could quite easily while the afternoon away here. Really, why would you want to leave? Ok, so perhaps for drinks and dinner to show off your fab new makeover…. Head for a sophisticated yet laid back dinner of wine and tapas at Qu’Importe, before ending the night at Chat Noir. Sip on a heady selection cocktails, then take the party downstairs to the basement club, and dance on into the early hours of the morning.
