What to Expect at the Exhibition

Visitors can discover a wide variety of cat breeds, observe international judging and explore products and accessories designed for feline companions.

The exhibition is also an opportunity to learn more about the characteristics that distinguish different breeds. However, visitors should remember that this is a formal exhibition, so direct interaction with the cats is not guaranteed.

Allow around two to three hours to explore the show, or longer if you plan to visit other areas of Les Automnales.

Is the International Cat Show Worth Visiting?

If you love cats or enjoy animal-related exhibitions, this event is a worthwhile addition to your Geneva itinerary. Its indoor setting also makes it a convenient option for a November day when the weather is cold or rainy.

However, if you are not particularly interested in cats, consider combining the exhibition with other activities at Palexpo rather than planning your entire day around the show.

Local tip: Check transport connections before travelling and arrive early if you prefer to explore at a more relaxed pace.
