I had a 9 hour layover in Geneva on my way to Barcelona so I decided to leave the airport and do a quick one-day exploration of Geneva. Luckily, the city of Geneva is extremely small (the airport is about 7 minutes from the city center) so 9 hours was the perfect amount of time to walk around the city, grab lunch, and see the United Nations building.
With a map in hand, we set off. I had remembered that my friend Megan was in Geneva for an internship at the World Health Organization, but we hadn’t gotten in touch with her before and didn’t have wifi, so we didn’t think much of it. Maybe less than 5 minutes after we got off the train, we spotted someone walking across the street, I called out to her, and sure enough, it was Megan!
She ended up walking around with us and showing us some of the places around the city.
