Culture in Geneva
Private air charters arranged by Geneva Jet Charter are extremely common in Switzerland, especially in its most politically important city. Routinely ranked among the best in terms of living standards, the city boasts some of the most coveted real estate on the planet. This is due to its large population relative to its actual size, large and comfortable flat sizes, and strict laws that dictate ownership of real estate. It’s obvious that Genevois enjoy a sense of orderliness and structure few international cities of its caliber can imitate. This is in part because of the local culture, which promotes quiet living and propriety at all times.
The native Genevois are often separated into two categories; French speaking, and German speaking. Then, of course, there is the other large part of the population consisting of foreign expatriates. The French and Germans have always been a bit separated, and this trend continues despite the intermingling of cultures. This is a place in which cultures come in and then conform, not the other way around. The only noticeable change in Geneva is the ever-changing population. Due to the large number of expats, the population here is rather transient. People tend to stay for a few years, and then leave for home or more exciting cities. Those who stay tend to enjoy nights at home, rather than out on the town. They enjoy the safety, comfort, and quiet atmosphere only Switzerland can provide. What can you expect to find after your private air charter arrives in Switzerland?
Geneva Outdoors
Considering the lack of nightlife venues and places to let your hair down, it follows that the local population be a bit more outdoorsy than your average population. This is very much the case in Geneva, where an average weekend will normally be spent at the parks throughout the city, or out on the slopes. The city practically invented the weekend ski trip, and the locals are borderline fanatical about it. You’ll see people zipping out of the office at breakneck speeds, trying to catch their lift and get as much ski time in as possible before Monday comes. Our jet charter clients are generally heading to the area for business or government, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of the local sites. If you’re interested in doing a bit of skiing, feel free to bring your equipment on the private jet with you. Ask a Geneva Jet Charter broker to arrange a helicopter lift or ground transfer from the airport, and get some skiing in before the next meeting starts.
Food in Geneva
Food is really the axis on which social life spins in Geneva. People don’t really go out drinking like they do in other major cities. So when you sit down with friends or colleagues at lunch, that’s when relationships are forged. There isn’t really a casual dining scene in the area, and you’ll find people take their food a bit more seriously than other places. Locals never eat out in casual clothes, they very rarely bring their babies, and all restaurants are smoke free. One can surmise, with such gravity given to eating out by locals, chefs would treat food preparation with equal severity. If you haven’t been there, then you’re likely unaware of the hidden gem that is the local cuisine. The amount of Five Star restaurants in the area is hard to believe, and Michelin seems to be handing their stars out to local restaurants like candy at a fair. Yet the restaurants are definitely earning each star, and you’ll be able to taste the effort during your visit.
Geneva Attractions
If you’re flying private to Geneva, then you’re probably going to be there for business either in banking or in politics. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the attractions while you’re there. Geneva’s nightlife is practically nonexistent, so you’ll have to get your kicks out of other offerings. With its lack of drinking and partying, Geneva can easily come across as bland and boring. But that simply isn’t the case. The local population is just more interested in doing other things, like spending their afternoons in the local parks. Switzerland has some of the nicest, most well-maintained parks in the world. You’ll be hard pressed to find any littering in the area, and the facilities are always top notch. Aside from the parks, the city boasts a wealth of museums and architectural oddities for photo opportunities to enjoy after your private flight to Geneva.
Business in Geneva
When you think of Switzerland, you probably think of chocolate, watches, and international neutrality. Though the first two are indeed aspects of the country, the third is a much more prevalent theme in Geneva – as you’ll find after your private chartered flight. As home to the United Nations’ second largest branch and location, the international population is absolutely staggering. Foreign dignitaries, heads of state, ambassadors, translators and interpreters; they all fly private in and out of the area constantly. Aside from the United Nations, a ton of international companies are headquartered here; we know because their executives generally charter private flights.
Some 200 international organizations are concentrated right in the center, often filling the area’s luxury hotels up to capacity. Of these organizations, many are going to be dealing (in some way or another) with the financial sector. Swiss banks aren’t famous for nothing! In general, the local population boasts a ton of intellectual capital, and the jobs in the area are often highly specialized.
