As an important financial center, Geneva is also known as "the smallest metropolis in the world" and impresses with its 140-meter-high water fountain "Jet d'eau" on the shores of Lake Geneva. Geneva proves its global importance with the fact that the city is the headquarters of many international organizations. The World Health Organization (WHO), the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the United Nations (UN), to name just a few, are based in Geneva.
