Yes, if the weather does not put you off. February in Geneva is Calm on the typical day, and not one of the 28 days in our window is crowded enough to call Busy. Expect around 9 °C by day, with rain on about 8 days. The crowd comes with the school holidays in France, Switzerland and Germany. No week of February is meaningfully quieter — the typical day is Calm throughout; pick by day instead. The crush is at the Rues Basses shopping spine; the quiet is at the diplomatic shore's parks. The calmest day is Wednesday 3 February, the busiest Friday 12 February.
In short, quiet and wide open, if the weather doesn't put you off.
