We jumped on the tram to a small suburb within Geneva only 10 minutes from downtown. It is deemed less polished than sleek central Geneva. It's thought Geneva’s bohemian streak strikes out in Carouge, a place where there is definitely a lack of any real sights which pleases the Carouge types as they have all the coffee shops and fashionable bars mainly to themselves. The place felt very Amsterdam like, with small charming alleyways and neat little shops and bars. 
These bars and cafes have now certainly taken over most of the 18th-century houses that overlooked courtyard gardens which give Carouge part of the charm.As with many other places around the world we have visited places like Carouge are great for just wondering around taking it all in whilst stopping off for the odd long-black along the way.
Carouge was a great little spot for when the watches and super-cars of downtown Geneva are getting the better of you. And the tram is free as part of your downtown visitors transport travel card. Well why wouldn't ya...
