I'll have to come in somewhere in between Myke H.'s "this is a basic Swiss post office" and Mindy…read moreH.'s "this is more than just a basic Swiss post office" debate. On Mindy's side, this place is much bigger and better equipped than the smaller regional post offices in Geneva. On Myke's side, there seem to be other post offices that may not be quite as big, but comparably well equipped. I have not always had someone who speaks English, but have generally been directed to someone who did when asked. Service is hit or miss in terms of friendliness, but efficient as a whole. I do like the collection of humorous post cards, and I'm always tempted to grab a few and send them to random friends, except for the fear that my lack of French skills will lead to me sending a wildly inappropriate post card by mistake. Despite the many things here to browse, I usually don't get a chance to as there is rarely a line and I've never had to kill more than five minutes here. Don't people send things by post anymore?? I'm also a bit confused by Myke's "they only take cash" and Mindy's "they don't take cash" observations, as I've always paid in cash but have alway seen credit card machines at each counter. Sorry I couldn't break the tie, guys!

This is a basic Swiss Post office. It has a great location as you make your way to the train…read morestation and it has a bit of everything, selling lightbulbs, books, and phones. They have a ticketing system in place and service is always rapid. I've had great luck each time i've went working with the teller in english. One downside to La Poste is that it's cash only. Keep that in mind when you have to mail packages/letters.
