From here the UN is coordinating its projects around the world. Stop by if you are in New York City. The tours are full pretty fast!
This place was such an amazing experience. It will definitely inspire you to become something more and contribute into the world in order to make it a better place. Will definitely come back again.
The tour now is quick, and the tour guide fast talking. We saw all the important rooms and heard all about the good things the United Nations is doing around the world. The architecture didn't look as futuristic as in the fifties, and the More
An amazing building to visit in NYC, after the security as usual in many places here, its great to get some history and see where the world meets
The highlight of my NYC trip, well worth a tour on a weekend visit.
Had an amazing tour guide who knew her stuff. 100% recommend
Really interesting place to visit when in NY - suggest you book online and arrive early as you need to check in across the street from the UN buildings and the line can be quite long. We arrived 1 hour before and just got checked in and into the UN for our tour in time - some people arrived 10mins before their tour stated and missed the whole thing because of poor planning.
When I was here, there was exhibition of refugees photos which really bring out humanity side of me. Great architecture, limited choice of food, but great souvenir store.
One of the places I want to visit in my next trips in NY
That place is a must see in New-York for anyone interested in the international relationships, peace and sustainable development around the world. The guide was really professional and very well documented, which made her especially interesting to listen to.
I had a great time there and would recommend it hands down.
The headquarters of the United Nations is a stunning complex that anyone should visit on their first trip to New York City. The buildings are surrounded by original sculptures and statues. The guided visits are very informative and the friendly guides answer all your questions. The pieces exhibited inside recall amusing, creative or emotional anecdotes tracing back the history of what might be the world's most important intergovernmental organization.
Imposing. I made the official guide in Spanish. Very interesting. We enter every corner. Full of history and artwork.
Sadly the way is wrong and time for Change, has arrived. Continuing this plan will destroy what we swore to protect.
Employer of choice and a global body with the intention to bring peace
It was the best experience i ever felt.All nations meeting in one huge room wat a blessing.
The fifteen specialized agencies of the United Nations are located outside of New York City or in other cities.
Although it is located in New York City, the land occupied by the United Nations headquarters and the spaces of the buildings it rents are under the sole administration of the United Nations and not the government of the United States of America. These are technically offshore through an agreement with the United States government. However, in exchange for the protection of local police, fire and other services, the United Nations agrees to recognize laws as local, state and federal. The United Nations headquarters was built in stages between 1948 and 1952. The headquarters occupies a site next to the East River, approximately seven hectares of land purchased from the property developer, William Zeckendorf, Mr. Nelson Rockefeller arranged this purchase, after reject an initial offer to settle in the Rockefeller family status, being so isolated from Manhattan.
Well worth doing the tour. We had an excellent guide who was very knowledgable and engaging.
I had the opportunity to participate at the international bazaar as a representative of Mission of Moldova coming from Moldova restaurant Brooklyn and Boon by Moldova from Queens New York in 2018.
It was really fun meeting all the nations and their representatives,even it was really hot outside .
We had a lot of costumers who tried the Moldavian dishes .
Hopefully next year we are going to repeat that experience.
Just look at a bunch of empty conference rooms, the Chinese explanation is very shallow and the PRC position is preset.
The house of all receives the representatives of all the peoples of the planet and works daily for peace in the world
An awesome day. Great to do the tour to learn about the United Nations' work.
I walked all the way from Time Square to the UN HQ office with the hope to be able to purchase entrance ticket. Unfortunately, visitors must book tickets online so I was not able to go inside. Please plan your tour online and join a group tour. I missed the opportunity to visit the UN Office.
The place where the world comes together to discuss, maintain and promote peace and prosperity.
I really liked the Korean guide. If you go to New York
It is free place for everyone. You should ask for free entrance ticket opposite the building after passport checking
Had a guided visit earlier today, and I was thoroughly impressed. Not only is the actual building beautiful and imposing (as are its many famous rooms, especially the General Assembly), it's chock full of many beautiful, gorgeous works of art donated by all member nations.

Only for its meaning is it worth the maximum. Then the scenographic position, the works present, a gift from different nations do the rest. It would have been nice to visit it in a more complete way, but there was no time.
It is a sure tour tour that you reserved in advance. Although I was late 15 minutes late, I was kindly able to join me while chasing. We also had a separate guide to the plenary of the Security Council who had already completed the tour.
At the same time, there were two Japanese beauties who seemed to have arrived late in the same way, so I was inquiring in the same way, so it might be "Japanese, Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".
However, there was information that it was canceled if it did not arrive 15 minutes before the start, and I think that it depends on the degree of congestion and the staff. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Before entering the United Nations Building, be sure to issue temporary ID in the opposite building, check baggage, and take some time, so be careful.
Until about a year ago, it seems that the post office in the United Nations stamped the passport, but now (July 2018) was "not doing".
My wife booked this tour and I was a bit skeptic but was totally won over at the end. Not for kids but my 16 year old found it interesting.
Airport style security checks means you have to allow time to get to the tour check in but during August it was very quick but could imagine with the UN is in full swing it could be a long line.
There is a small cafeteria downstairs if you are early and fancy a coffee etc. Also a nice shop that sells t shirts etc and lots of books for insomniacs
A visitable place, that if the tickets acquire them via internet, but then you will have to go through a security control that takes a little while, nice visit, the "Zaragoza" guide that I play, fantastic, very clear explanations, highly recommended
I went for a guided tour. I could feel more about the reality of the international community. It seems to be a good study even with children.
It s a must to be here... the work of the UN should be honored.
I was lucky enough to be able to visit. It's spacious and well appointed, it's impressive
So cool to see where the world organization is doing good.
I went to visit the United Nations Headquarters, where the staff did not laugh, very serious! There is a female staff who looks beautiful and speaks Chinese, but she is Vietnamese.
An emblematic place full of the history of Humanity
Beautiful, and a surprisingly quiet place in the city if you have the opportunity to get in.
Really an incredible experience to tour the United Nations headquarters. We were very lucky that all of the conference rooms were available for us to tour. Please arrive early because we need to go across the street and through security there prior to starting the tour. Make sure you have the appropriate identification. I highly recommend this to her to anyone.
There will never be peace in the world if UN is weak. Period.
This is a wonderful construction of a glass building on the east river. It reflects light during different times of the day in a very unique way. Here you will meet people from 192 countries and learn about the celebration of thier diversity. The guided tour is wonderful and offered in the six official languages.
Normal people can enter with one special place to visit .. Allowed only for card holders to go inside and attend meetings..there are food Court..wc..waiting Place to rest..free wifi
Awesome place. A lot of history and the tour guides are amazing
Good place to visit with kids. There could be too many views expressed on the organization by too many people depending on which side of the coin they see. But helps to show the next generation the lofty ideals and vision envisioned by great people. Who knows one of those kids might be inspired enough to go on to further those ideals.
The UN building in New York, an architectural cult building in the International Style, was moved in 1952 and remained technically on the same standard for 60 years, until finally a modernization was tackled. The original building was planned and realized by a group of renowned architects who had to come from the Member States. Outstanding were the star architects Le Corbusier, a visionary Swiss-French origin and the Brazilian Oscar Niemeyer. The group was led by the American Wallace Harrison, whose excellent relations with the Rockefeller clan were useful. The team worked together for just four months, but at that time, conceptual plans emerged for what the senior architect called the "Workshop for Peace." The architect Michael Adlerstein, who had already restored the Statue of Liberty and the Taj Mahal, described the UN building as the most famous building of the 20th century. The exterior of the Secretariat Tower is formed by two narrow white vertical marble panels to the north and south, while to the east to the East River and west to Times Square, glass fronts dominate the house. Her formal beauty is considered the captivating moment.
The subsequent Great Assembly Building is a total contrast to the skyscraper icon.
The skyscraper was one of the first skyscrapers in the International Style, a flow of classical modern architecture, which had its orientation in Europe in 1922 and later worldwide began. The UN building is therefore a time monument of architecture, which as such deserves its attention.
Free admission and very well organized everything. Without a tour you don't see much, but it's worth entering
Online, it was suggested to arrive an hour early for the tour and I'm glad I did. The effort to get in was unique, but well worth the process. The tour guide was well informed and gave brilliant presentations.
Great opportunity for women to have input into policies at CSW
When you are in a place where you decide, vote, do world politics, emotions are very strong.
Worth a visit, among other things, remember to book.
Great place to visit. Security is tight so get there with plenty of time. Also, wandering around is not always allowed.
