Geneva is one of Europe's safest and most stable cities — and it's more accessible than you might think from Italy and Belgium. For residents of Milan, Turin, northern Italy or Brussels who want to keep their valuables outside their national banking system, a private safe deposit box in Geneva offers security, discretion and independence — with no bank reporting.
