Procure of the tax sticker in the motorway is obligatory to drive on to the Swiss motorways, drivers can get communal parking at the southern end of the Mt. Blanc Bridge, under the Plaine de Plainpalai and in Place de Cornavin, it's much easier to find parking space in these huge car parks than on Geneva's streets, car parks are quite close to many of Geneva's attractions.

The Swiss Federal Railway provides Geneva's Gare de Cornavin trains to many destinations in Europe and Switzerland, high speed trains normally run every hour to Paris, Venice and Milan and by Swiss-Italian Cisalpino.

The French SNCF has a station located in Eaux Vives that can be reached from Cornavin on the number 16 tram, this route goes through Chamonix, Mt. Blanc and Annemasse. All trains incoming to Gare de Cornavin will typically have Geneva airport as the final destination.
