Geneva is gorgeous in the summertime, but it does have a tendency to get hot during the dog days. So if exploring the Gothic and Romanesque Cathedrale Saint-Pierre de Geneve and walking around the historic Place Neuve (town square) has got you feeling a wee bit overheated, do as the locals do and hit the beach. Bains Des Paquis beach, a popular lido on Lac Léman (Lake Geneva), is a perfect place to go swimming, relax in the sunshine, and grab a bite to eat. You'll find everything you need to enjoy a day at the beach, including spacious changing areas and showers and lockers to stash your stuff. There are several different swimming areas, ranging from shallow kid's areas - perfect for splashing around and playing Marco Polo - to open water for serious Olympic-style swimmers. Of course, swimming is an excellent workout and a lot of fun, but if you overdo it just a bit and wind up with sore muscles, relief is just seconds away. A few minutes in the nearby Hammam (Turkish bath) or a massage treatment at the spa will have you feeling loose as a goose as you soak in views of one of the most beautiful freshwater lakes in the world. Top off the evening with a salad, fondue, or meat dish at an alfresco restaurant and raise a toast to the Swiss, because they sure know how to live. Bains Des Paquis is just minutes from the Hotel President Wilson, a member of Starwood's Luxury Collection.
