the main train station (first stop). Then take the tram as indicated
below. (40 min, ticket 3 CHF or 2eur to be bought at the airport

13 or 15 direction Palettes to Plainpalais. (10 mins, ticket 3 CHF or
2eur to be bought at the tram stop.)
To move around in Geneva, the simplest way by far
is to use public transportation - and if you have booked an
hotel in Geneva, they have to provide you with a free day
pass for all public transportation, do not forget to ask for
it. The public transport company (TPG) have a useful route planner.The
locations of the bus and tramway stops around the department and the
main university building (Bastions) are indicated on the following
