When visiting a city, some people like visiting churches… I personally prefer visit football stadiums and hanging out in the universities! It plunges me back into a great time I had at the University of Geneva, especially in Unimail!
First of all, if you want to look like more “Genevois” do not pronounce UniMail like “mailbox” but like the french word “maille”!!! You are now ready!
The modern UniMail is located in the heart of the lively Plainpalais at one block of the Plaine de Plainpalais. The construction of this university is one of the main reasons of the flourishing bars in the neighbourhood : Calamar, Café du Lys (check the Cafe du Lys article) Ferblanterie etc.
You can always join the students in one of the two cafeterias in the day time.
Unimail | Art & culture, Coffee & tea, Relaxing, Snacks, Restaurants (cafetaria)
Boulevard du Pont d’Arve 40 | Plainpalais | +41223201704
All year around (sometimes a badge is required to open the door)
Hi Sharon! Yes this is nice to share your info! I checked.. I passed by the Calamar on Friday night and it was open. Maybe it was closed for a short period?! All the best

Hey, Le Calamar, next to Uni Mail is now closed (looks like it has been for some time too!)
Just thought you’d like to know – it’s a waste of a trip otherwise.
