A Day in Geneva: From the UN to the 100m Fountain

✨ The weather in Geneva that day was absolutely perfect—sunny skies, a light breeze, and my mood? Better than ever! Here’s my recap of the day, packed with iconic sights and pure joy: 🏛️ United Nations European Headquarters & Palais des Nations The heart of international politics—I wandered through the 193-nation flag corridor, feeling like I was stepping into a global village! 🌍 ❗ Pro tip: Guided tours require advance booking via the official website (I learned the hard way—we didn’t book, so we just snapped photos outside the gate as a keepsake!). 🪑 The Broken Chair Right across from the UN’s fountain square—this 12-meter-tall metal sculpture by Daniel Berset is a powerful symbol of peace amid landmine tragedies. Free to photograph, and the contrast between its “broken leg” and the surrounding flags? Chills. ✨ 🌊 Lake Geneva & Jet d’Eau The lake’s water was so clear it looked like liquid glass—jelly-like and stunning! 🌟 The Jet d’Eau (140m-tall fountain) shot water high into the sky, and even up close, it felt majestic. Bonus: Swans glided right by the shore—I grabbed a quick pic with one! 🦢 💐 Flower Clock & Ferris Wheel The Flower Clock (a living bouquet of blooms) was whimsical, even without its seasonal flowers (still photogenic!). Nearby, the vintage Ferris wheel added a touch of old-world charm—perfect for a sunset snap! ✨Geneva that day felt like a postcard come to life. Every corner held something beautiful: the UN’s grandeur, the Broken Chair’s message, the lake’s sparkle, and the fountain’s power. It’s a city that reminds you to slow down, breathe, and appreciate the magic in the everyday. Switzerland, you’ve outdone yourself again. 🌟 #Geneva #Switzerland #SwissTravel #TravelDiary #LakeGeneva #JetdEau #FlowerClock #UNHeadquarters #BrokenChair #PerfectDay
