Rues Basses

Pavement to pavement luxury shopping
Word to the wise: Don't come to Rues Basses on a Sunday expecting to find many shops open.

The Rues Basses is Geneva’s most famous shopping district, where the best clothing, jewellery and (just occasionally) bargains can be found. It consists of two streets down near the lake (the name means "lower streets" after all). Priciest is the expensive Rue du Rhône, lined with boutiques from the likes of Dior, Gucci and Louis Vuitton, intersected by the somewhat cheaper, pedestrianised Rue du Marché.
If you feel like picking up some serious wrist candy, these streets also hosts Geneva's grandest watch emporia, though they invariably have some cheaper stock if you look beyond the most prominent displays.
