I'm not sure what I was expecting but Annemasse is not particularly charming or exciting. It felt more like a working class suburb of Geneva. I didn't feel that comfortable walking around at night. So I didn't go out much. The main plaza has some charm and some delightful dining opportunities but overall I found the location to be rather unmemorable. I went to the casino there and was very disappointed. One of the reasons I have occasionally enjoyed my time in casinos in Las Vegas was because of the ability to sit and chat with the dealer and fellow players. But in this casino every game was automated. It was more like anonymous drones chugging away at slot machines than anything that I would call entertaining or charming. NOTE: There is a tram that goes into Geneva and a train. The tram was very close to the apartment where I was staying so it was very convenient to get into and out of Geneva. The train was faster but the train station was not as close to the center of town. I give Geneva a thumbs up for the public transportation even though Annemasse was not that great. All in all, if you want to see Geneva on a budget, Annemasse is a decent option. But next time I travel to this area I think I'll just stay in Geneva proper. Much more exciting, cosmopolitan, and active.

Great hub connecting you to all the good sightseeing towns around while saving a ton by avoiding Swiss prices. People in Annemasse itself are friendly and the restaurants are overall pretty good. 75% or more of the establishments speak English. No one ever refused service over language barrier like in Paris etc. Only cons are the downtown streets smell and are rough in some spots buts that's any city it seems.

A great place...convenient travel into Geneva and to other major centers (Lausanne) in Francophone Switzerland without draining your bank account. Love stores like Monoprix where you can buy essentials for very affordable prices :)!

There is not a lot to see in town in terms of tourist attractions although very good access to shops and a good variety. The plus point is the ease of travel into Geneva and the fact that the flat is literally a 100 metres from the train station in within a newly established part of town. Trains run every 15 minutes or so. Plenty places to eat out and also a good boulangerie within 2 mins walk of the flat for morning bread and croissants.

A good place to rest for short stay. Small city with basic shops and supermarkets. Train station is close and services super. I shopped in MS , a cloth store and got good bargains. I fell in love eating in a Tunisian restaurant named Blanc Bleu. Their food was very tasty ( escalope with salad and falafel). I also loved shopping in the supermarket Carrefour City. It had most things. V Market is another store for general household stuff.
