Tours
Take A Tour Around The United Nations In Geneva, Switzerland

The whole of Switzerland is worth visiting but I would have to say that visiting the United Nations Office at Geneva ("UNOG") should be at the top of your list if you're in the country. This is because you will get an insight into the workings of the United Nations and have an opportunity to learn and see the various conference rooms and grounds that are at the heart of diplomacy. As the UNOG is the second largest United Nations centre and is housed in the Palais des Nations, there is a great deal of history to the site, thereby, certainly necessitating a visit. In order to get to the UNOG, you need to take the number 15 tram (in the direction of Nations) from Geneva’s central station and get off at the last stop. Once you depart from the tram, you will see the first of the two entrances to the UNOG. This entrance has the Broken Chair structure outside, a gate and two large columns of flags. This entrance is known as the Nations Gate entrance and is only for United Nations personnel. You need to turn left from this entrance and walk up a hill for about 5 minutes with the UNOG's grounds on your right hand side until you come to the Pregny Gate. The Pregny Gate is the entrance for visitors and is located specifically at 14, avenue de la Paix.
