Things to do Geneva as a cheap and romantic goodbye

Hi Reddit! My girlfriend and I are actually on the train from rollea to Geneva rn lol and are leaving back to Paris tomorrow morning. We’re looking for things to do! She’s moving back to Warsaw at the end of the month so this is a kind of final horrah romantic end to our relationship and we want to make the most of it. She’s really int art, especially surrealism and art deco. I like a nice dingy place and am drawn to graphiti and tunnels and abandoned buildings. We both like drinking and enjoy a good hole in the wall place. She also likes jazz and we both enjoy a good burlesque moment. We both speak French no problem, are both girls so queer places are a plus, and also very important neither of us have showered in 3 days (no shower at the Airbnb lol. I brought dr bronnwrs amd was planning to rinse off on the lake but it’s cold! ) any suggestions for us? Or anyone wanna let us take a shower lol (we’ll take you out for a drink). Thanks!

This is such a sad post. Her moving back doesn't mean end of relationship no? Anyway, I'd just take advantage of the sunny weather and have a wine at the lake.

Thanks! It is sad but it’s not horrible! We’ve learned a lot from eachother and I’m happy to see her thrive

Update: thanks to everyone who responded! We got to Geneva and found a cheap bar on mr good beer. On the way thete we saw a lesbian bar and grabbed a beer and I saw all your recs! Thanks but funilly enough we ended up at most of those places on accident. We went to the park and decided to have an dr bronnwers sponsored fountain shower momwnt and saw some funky architecture and then smoked a j and wete adopted by a band from Senegal . We then went to Bain des paquis for fondue. She said it felt like a honeymoon and put a ring on my finger then I’d immediately flew off and was lost to the lake lol. We both had a really good time. We’re headed back to rolles for a little gay  beach moment ! Thank you all I came to Switzerland with no expectations and really enjoyed it ! 

You can go the the black cat bar where you can surely have a nice concert and eat there (it’s in Carouge, but there you can find a lot of bars and nice restaurants if the black cat is not your pleasure.

For the shower in the train station of cornavin there is a douche spot if i’m not wrong but not very classy romantic for you two if you see what i mean.

For the museum you can to the MEG near plainpalais. And for the graf you van go the the rondo the carouge where you can found some great spot (there is a hotel at this place not very expensive) maybe it’s a great spot

Why not continue long distance

u/trashdaddy42069 avatar

We’ve talked about it and I don’t think it’s going to be fair for either of us. She knows what she wants career wise and has a plan but I need to stay in Paris for visa reasons until I can get eu citizenship, and I just think it’s right pwrson wrong moment. We both had just gotten out of really toxic realtionships when we met and have  learned a lot from eachother and healed in eavhothers presence. I’m really proud of her and the direction she’s going but I also know mtself and I know that long distance would hurt both of us.
