La Gare de Cornavin (the station of Cornavin) is Geneva's main train station, located in the center of the city. The immediate area surrounding it is known as Cornavin; both names can be used interchangeably to refer to each other. The station has over 100 train arrivals and departures every day, not including non-stop trains and at least 6 tracks, 4 ticket counters and 6 ticket automats and a customs office for trains to France.
