This is a good place to visit and one should avail of the conducted tours to understand the history and function of this vast complex of buildings. From many places inside one has a beautiful view of Lake geneva with the jet d'eau. It is a part of 20th century history. Take care to book places on the conducted tours. More

Excellent guided tour of the conference rooms. We visited a number of conference rooms including the meeting rooms of the former League of Nations. The building is full of history and is well worth a visit. The entrance is a 10-15min uphill walk from the tram stop in Palais des Nations. The tour lasts 45mins but you need to allow... More

The tour itself was interesting and the building impressive. However it was painful to see how money was being wasted on the inefficiencies of the place. There is too much prestige and not enough world saving action! More

throughly enjoyed the hour long tour of the un buildings. Tour guides knowledgable and go extra mile. Note, the entrance is a 10 minute up hill walk from the nations tram stop so leave enough time! More

Do not miss the visit of this place, the is were lots of key diplomatic moments have taken place. For a drink nearby go to the Intercontinental hotel where lots of separate meetings have taken place before the start of major conflicts. More
