Embark on the Geneva Audio Tour: Banks, Brilliance & Timeless Stones

Bank vaults in Geneva echo both secrets and scandals—yet few ever notice the centuries-old conflicts hidden behind those stone facades. This self-guided audio tour takes you through Geneva’s heart, unlocking stories that most visitors will never hear.

Slip through grand entrances and along quiet avenues as the city reveals its guarded past and vibrant present. Which university lecture once sparked outrage across Europe?

What invisible handshake in a bank’s marble hall changed the fate of millions? Why does a forgotten statue near Banque Cantonale de Genève mark a betrayal that still hushes locals today?

Move deeper into Geneva’s tangled history of financial revolutions, academic awakenings, and clandestine maneuvers. Hear whispers from gilded boardrooms and revolutionary lecture halls as you discover the city anew with each step.

Begin the journey—if you dare to see the polished stones and proud institutions hide more danger and drama than you ever imagined.
