Yes, you can explore Geneva via an open-top hop-on hop-off bus combined with scenic mini-train rides on a flexible 24-hour ticket.

The Little Train of Geneva refers to the scenic mini-train rides included in the hop-on hop-off tour, offering views of parks and lakeside areas across the city.

The ticket includes unlimited rides on the open-top bus circuit and access to two separate scenic mini-train routes that pass through Geneva's Old Town and lakeside parks.

The complete bus circuit takes approximately 60 minutes without disembarking at any of the designated stops.

The open-top bus offers recorded audio commentary in several languages via headphones, but the mini-train rides do not include narrated commentary.

The primary departure stop is located near the Geneva tourist office on Rue du Mont-Blanc, within walking distance of the Cornavin main train station.

Folding strollers and wheelchairs can be stored on the lower enclosed deck of the bus, but the upper open deck and the mini-train carriages are not accessible due to steps and narrow entryways.

Starting by mid-morning allows enough time to complete the bus loop and both mini-train rides before the last departures, which is especially important during shorter winter daylight hours.

Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a windproof layer, as the exposed upper deck provides no shelter from sun, rain, or wind coming off Lake Geneva.

The 24-hour validity begins at the moment you first board either the bus or a mini-train, not at the time of purchase or voucher redemption.

Buses run approximately every 30 minutes during the high season and every 45 to 60 minutes during the off-season.

The two mini-train rides follow different routes, with one typically touring the historic Old Town and the other covering the parks and lakeside promenades.
