Arrivals, departures, terminals, and travel information

Geneva Airport (GVA), originally opened in 1919 as Cointrin, is Switzerland’s second-busiest international gateway with one main terminal and several piers serving Schengen and non‑Schengen traffic; its compact size makes connections easy for travelers heading to Geneva’s lakeside center, UN district and nearby French border towns. Located about 4 km from downtown, GVA is well connected by frequent regional trains and buses (roughly a 7–10 minute ride to Genève-Cornavin) and has good road links to France. While on the pricier side for parking and services typical of Switzerland, the airport hosts bases for easyJet Switzerland and strong schedules from SWISS, Air France and Lufthansa, plus budget carrier options.

Need Swiss francs fast? About three exchange counters and roughly 15 bank ATMs are spread across Arrivals, Departures, and the rail station, but you’ll get better value downtown—use a bank ATM for a small CHF withdrawal now and save bigger exchanges for the city to dodge fees and queues.
From quick espressos to runway‑view dining, Geneva Airport offers roughly 25–30 places to eat, spread between landside halls and the Schengen/non‑Schengen gates. Expect Swiss‑level prices—about CHF 5 for coffee, CHF 8–12 for snacks, and CHF 22–35 for meals—with the best value at landside supermarket takeaways.
From quick first aid to a full-service pharmacy, Geneva Airport keeps health help close at hand. Expect 24/7 emergency assistance and daily pharmacy hours in the main terminal, with travel kits, prescriptions, and testing advice available when you need it.
Stash your suitcase or skis just steps from Arrivals at the airport railway station: self‑service lockers for carry‑ons and a staffed counter daily for oversize. Expect about CHF 8–12 per 24h for lockers and CHF 15–30 for larger items, with secure, well‑monitored storage.
