Re: Regie offices open on Saturday Dec 30?

Welcome to glocals and soon to Geneva !
Unfortunately, the New Year weekend is not the ideal time to visit Geneva because
the 31st of December and the 1st of January are public holidays so many places will be closed for the entire weekend. Moreover, the New Year break is traditionally a time when city and town residents head for the mountains or visit family and friends living in the countryside that they weren’t able to see at Christmas.
There will, however, be fun events and fireworks on New Year’s Eve but it’s not the best time to get the “feel” of Geneva or indeed Switzerland.
And as for the régies, they – and many other private and public services – are never open on Saturdays. Also, almost all shops, apart from convenience outlets, are closed all day on Sundays.
So, if you can, I would suggest that you choose another weekend to visit Geneva.
Best seasonal greetings,
R.
