Maison Tavel (Oldest House)

This charming medieval townhouse, Geneva's oldest building, transports you back to the 14th century with its original stone walls and period furnishings that tell the story of everyday life through the centuries. The museum showcases rotating exhibitions about the city's rich history and heritage, from its feudal past to its role as a Renaissance center of learning. Walking through its narrow corridors and intimate rooms feels like stepping into a time capsule where Geneva's roots are tangibly preserved.
