What people say

Christina Dubin
"The Parc des Bastions (aka Bastions Park) is a tranquil urban oasis nestled at the base of Old Town. During the 16th century, it was a defensive stronghold, but today the Park welcomes visitors with its grand statues, the emblematic Reformation Wall, and inviting chessboards. Shaded by trees and adorned with fountains, this park is a perfect blend of Geneva's historical legacy and contemporary leisure, offering everyone a serene spot to relax while soaking in the city's past."
Valentina Vanegas
"Walk through this tranquil park, famous for its giant chess boards and the Reformation Wall. The park offers a peaceful respite before heading to your next destination. The wall honours Geneva’s role in the Protestant Reformation with statues of key historical figures. "
