Or you can take the bus number 5. The bus stop is in front of the airport on the check-in level.

You must pay your ticket before getting onto the train or the bus. Beware, there are numerous inspections and the fines are expensive! There are machines at every bus stop. Only one ticket is needed: choose the option "tout Genève" (cost: CHF 3.50- ).

  • If you are coming from France: go through the customs in Bardonnex, and take the motorway that goes around Geneva. Take the exit "GENÈVE-LA PRAILLE (CAROUGE)".

From there...

... follow the signs for "CAROUGE-CENTRE". This should take you through a tunnel. On the other side of the tunnel, turn left at the traffic lights. At the roundabout, continue straight on ("Route de la Fontenette"). Keep going straight on through the next traffic lights (when they are green). You are now on a bridge that crosses the river "Arve".

Turn right off the bridge, into the "Avenue de la Roseraie". Keep going until you see the sign (on your right) for the "PARKING LOMBARD". This is where you could park your car. It costs about CHF 15.- for 4-5 hours. Take the lift to the ground floor ("R"). Then refer to the detailed map here.

Main ground floor entrance to the "Centre Médical Universitaire" (CMU). Enter the CMU from "Rue Michel Servet". This is in fact an entrance for deliveries. Cross the main hall. Take the first corridor on your left. The entrance to the SIB is facing you at the end of the corridor.
