Before tramping up the hill, join the crowds getting snapped in front of the flower clock in Geneva's flowery waterfront garden, landscaped in 1854 on the site of an old lumber-handling port and merchant yard. The Horloge Fleurie , Geneva's most photographed clock, is crafted from 6500 plants and has ticked since 1955 in the garden. Its second hand, 2.5m long, is claimed to be the world's longest.
