The only place to spot that is "official" is actually the "viewing terrace". It gives a nice view of the terminal area, the apron, and the takeoffs as the runway is just past the apron. Please note that for photography, it is quite far away, and that you might not be able to take good pictures as there is a thick glass panel that loves bad reflections. On that same terrace, there is a bar where you can have a drink, and there are tables & chairs. On weekends when the weather is nice, you'll have a lot of families there too. All in all, nice views, but no pictures. | The only place to spot that is "official" is actually the "viewing terrace".

If you want to take photos of planes, there are a couple of places to spot in GVA. First of all, check if the unway in use it 23 (over the lake) or 05 (over the Jura mountains, from France. You are never bothered by the police as long as you don't sneak through the fences! | If you want to take photos of planes, there are a couple of places to spot in GVA.
