Good to know about a car I hope the trains will be running at nights of the festival. My hotel is 5 minutes walk from the train station in Geneva. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Ko Kolkowska Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) There is a 811 bus timetable for the Caribana festival period from Nyon to Cran and from Cran to Nyon As well as from Gland via Cran to Nyon Edited May 21, 2022 by Anna Ko Kolkowska 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Ko Kolkowska Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I checked train timetable for the return to Geneva. The tickets (Geneva-Nyon-Geneva) is about 8-9 CHF. For the return trains there is one at 00:59. It's just about the end of the concert so I don't think we could catch it as first you have to take a bus 811 from Cran to Nyon (ex the one at 1:45). The next train is at 4:25. So if I don't find a place in one of your cars I think I will take this train. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I had read that somewhere. Anyway my son and I will be going to Geneva with @holdingyourdrink , don't want to be stuck somewhere or waiting for trains/buses with my son in the middle of the night. We're staying at the Meininger Hotel. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Ko Kolkowska Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 In French version of the Caribana website you can read: If you have a ticket for Caribana you can take for free the line 811 between Coppet and Gland. For more there is a shuttle bus between Nyon train station and the festival. It's funny that this has not been included in an English version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Ko Kolkowska Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I know it's still too early to talk about the weather. But it's look pretty promising like this Not 30 degrees to die on the field and no rain! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it can be interested for those who come by car - as the parking places are in Coppet and Cran. Prisca, do you think you would have a place in your car to go back to Geneva? Not a problem with going to the festival as there is a lot of trains during a day. So I can go alone.

Nina survived driving with me in Quebec in a new car with automatic transmission where you could barely press the brakes and there was already a full stop. Then I'd much rather drive my old car with gears. The good news: Nina is still riding with me. The bad news: Now I have to prove to her that I don't drive my own car so badly. 😅 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
