Take the number 13 or 15 tram from Gare Cornavin to 'Nations'. The terminus is at the main entrance to the UN which is only accessible to staff and meeting delegates. The only way to access the site as a member of the public is to take a guided tour which starts from a different entrance about 10-15 mins walk... More

I wanted to visit the UNO and have the tour after reading about it on Tripadvisor and it was all worth it. We received a lot of information about the UNO I wasn't yet aware of. The conference rooms were quite impressive, even though I have seen the ones in New York already as well. The second building we went... More

Best seen with a UN guide. Great tour. Refreashing and revealing. Do visit the giftshop for some very original gifts that you don't find else. Cafeteria is great with many healthy food items. Beautiful lawns. Body watch the diplomats from many nationalities. WCs are very clean.

We reached after closing time, so I'm not sure about the rest. Overall I'd recommend not more than 15 minutes outside to take pictures. kids usually have fun with the numerous fountains behind the broken chair. If you are expecting lots of restaurants or stores nearby, you will be disappointed.

If you're at all interested in politics this is an absolute must - but the building itself and all the artwork is too impressive to miss. Some reviewers appear to have given misleading information about cost and types of visit - to plan your visit use the official website www.unog.ch In May 2013 the guided tour cost 10 Swiss francs...

I had no preconceived ideas about what this visit would entail. I joined a guided tour (available in different languages) and found there to be a lot of information about the premises, the role of the UN and how it operates worldwide. It was very interesting and I would say would appeal to anyone but not so much for children.

Attended a conference as an observer - would like to visit more of the site. Been told to try the Library overlooking the lake.

I was in UN Palais des Nations due to my professional appointment. But the site is accessible for any visitor (just be patient when applying for the access badge). The Palais provides a unique atmosphere of the place where the world politics were woven for many decades (not always successfully); but - despite of any hesitations - you will probably... More

If you're in Geneva, you surely have to see the birthplace of the UN. The tour was informative, engaging and interesting, the guide clearly knew his stuff. At a fraction under 1hr, it was long enough to see the main rooms and artwork etc, and to get a feel of the place, but not too long to be boring. Our... More
