A billion Swiss francs once vanished into thin air on Geneva’s sparkling lakeshore—leaving the city’s bankers whispering of betrayal and vanished fortunes. Away from the glossy façades, secrets pulse behind the mighty walls of Banque Cantonale de Genève, the storied University, and the elite halls of Lombard Odier & Co.

This self-guided audio tour leads through the city’s corridors of power and intrigue, revealing hidden tales and unseen corners that defy the tourist brochures.

Why did a single pen stroke at the Banque Cantonale plunge hundreds into chaos overnight? Who plotted clandestine meetings beneath the University’s ancient arches—and why did their schemes rewrite Geneva’s history? Which infamous cocktail recipe scandalized the banking elite at Lombard Odier?

Wander where revolutions smoldered and conspiracies unfolded. Uncover drama and ambition echoing along elegant boulevards. See Geneva as few dare to imagine—restless, luminous, alive.

Hit play and trace the city’s thrilling secrets from the very first step.
