Geneva: Geneva is the second-most populous city in Switzerland and the most populous in French-speaking Romandy. Situated in the southwest of the country, where the Rhône exits Lake Geneva, it is the capital of the Republic and Canton of Geneva. Geneva is a global city, an international financial centre, and a worldwide centre for diplomacy, which has led to it being called the "Peace Capital".
Observes daylight saving time. Civil clocks shift forward by one hour during the local summer, swinging between standard UTC+01:00 and summer UTC+02:00. Transitions follow the IANA zone Europe/Zurich.
