Best United Nations Headquarters Tours & Trips

The United Nations Office at Geneva is the former headquarters of the League of Nations. Today it is used for the annual meeting of the WHO and occasionally as an alternative meeting place to UN Headquarters in New York. The UN offers hour-long tours of the Palace of Nations where visitors learn about current projects and visit several meeting places and monuments. Go inside the Council Chamber where many historically significant negotiations have taken place; sit in the Assembly Hall with its country placards; then see monuments around the grounds including the Armillary Sphere and the Conquest of Space.

Reviews for United Nations Headquarters Tours

L
8-Day USA and Canada Tour from New York · Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Niagara Falls, Toronto, Montreal and Quebec | Max 24 Pax | $100 Admission Included

Traveled with my elderly parents and two kids. The tour was surprisingly manageable for all ages. The driver was very helpful with the luggage and the pace in Washington D.C. was gentle enough for my parents. Seeing the White House was a dream for them. The hotel in Niagara had a view of the falls—spectacular! For a stress-free family holiday, this is definitely the best choice. Excellent service from the Tours4fun team.

Perfect Combination of Nature and History

This tour was the perfect balance between nature and history. Niagara Falls was the highlight for me—seeing it up close was amazing! The other cities like Boston and Washington DC were rich in history, and I enjoyed every minute. The small group size made it more intimate and enjoyable. The guide was super helpful, too. Highly recommend!

FAQs about United Nations Headquarters Tours

Is the Palace of Nations open to the public for tours?

Yes, the Palace of Nations in Geneva offers free guided tours through the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG). Visitors must book in advance via the UNOG website and present valid photo ID at entry. Tours are subject to the working schedule of the UN and may be canceled with little notice.

How do I get to the Palace of Nations using public transport in Geneva?

Take Geneva’s tram line 15 to the Nations stop, located directly in front of the Palace of Nations. Alternatively, tram line 18 stops nearby at Perle du Lac. Both options provide easy access from central Geneva. Schedules are operated by TP (Transports Publics Genevois).

What is the best time of year to visit the Palace of Nations with minimal crowds?

Visit between September and early December or from late January to May, outside major UN assembly periods and summer holidays. Avoid July and August, when Geneva sees peak tourism, and major conferences scheduled in June or September, which increase foot traffic and limit access.

Are there any entry requirements or security procedures at the Palace of Nations?

All visitors must pass airport-style security screening. Bring a valid government-issued ID; non-Swiss citizens need a passport. Prohibited items include large bags, weapons, and sharp objects. Arrive 15 minutes early for tours. No tickets are required, but booking a guided tour is mandatory.
