United Nations Visitors Services

"Amazing experience. We took the Guided tour for architecture, there are others for art, history, etc. The building itself is getting a little older but also packs a lot of history and heritage. The exhibits are good to walk past and read about the current world event. However the UN shop is not good at it. The higher mark-up value is not justified by the quality of products. Even the collection of things from different countries was bad."

"The building is beautiful and there's interesting things to see on the first floor, including the UN store. However, the free pass is limited, if you want to visit more places you need to do it through a tour."

"Excellent service and help in issuing an access pass. Pl carry your passport or a national ID. Indian tourist can carry an Adhar card or a driving license. Amazed to see Staff pulling out information by accessing India Govt data base. Pl consider taking a guided tour that would give an access to UNGA, Security council meeting room and many. Adult below 60 will cost $ 26 and above 60 is $ 18. Children below 18 are free. Must visit to understand the objectives and purpose of setting up UN. People, Planet, Prosperity, Partnership are the focus area."

"I got a tour at 11AM. I arrived on time. Those who have a tour should come at least 1 hr before because you have to pass an ID checked and security screening. After you came inside the building, you also have to get a sticker color base on your tour time. It’s for safety reason. Overall, I enjoyed the tour and the guide “Vola” was great. She explained everything clearly and she was so friendly to guests."

"Be there at least 30 minutes before the tour. You don't need tour to get in to the building. Just need to pass the security. Book the tour 1 or 2 weeks in advance. If not available, you still can get into the building 1st floor and basement without tour tikets. In . Tour tickets may be available to buy in site. There's cafeteria and gift shop in the basement."
