Airport Geneva
Geneva Airport is the second largest airport in Switzerland after Zurich airport. It is a hub of the airlines Swiss and Easy Jet and is located about 4 km or 2 miles from Geneva city centre. A special feature of the airport is that it is located partly on French territory. For this reason, the airport has both a French and a Swiss sector. From Geneva Airport, France can be reached via a tunnel. This and the fact that for French passengers flights to France are treated as domestic flights, allows French passengers to arrive at the airport without entering the customs territory of Switzerland. The airport is well integrated into the public transport network of Geneva. Trains from the underground station leave at 12 minute intervals and take only 6 minutes to reach Geneva-Cornavin railway station. Several bus lines also connect the airport with Geneva inner city as well as serving towns and cities nearby. The bus numbers 10 and 5 both go to the centre of Geneva. Tickets and information are available at the counter of the public transport company Unireso. In addition, free tickets can be collected in the arrivals hall for use on public transport. If staying overnight at one of the hotels in Geneva, a campsite or a youth hostel, guests will receive a special ticket, the so-called "Geneva Transport Card" which allows visitors to use Geneva's public transport free of charge for the entire duration of their stay.
