The UN was the top of my sons list when we booked our trip to Geneva, so we just had to get tickets to get inside! You have to book a tour to get inside the gates, we booked online roughly 3 weeks before, but it tells you to do it as soon as you can as it books up fast! You get a guided 1hour tour which is OK, but it's honestly worth booking just to get inside the gates, so many brilliant photo opportunities! The buildings and gardens are beautiful! My son was so happy getting his picture with the flags! Our tour guide was lovely, I can't remember his name! He really did try to squeeze as much in as possible in the short time! It's worth it as the tickets are quite cheap!

This was the place where the UN was formed and this served as the first headquarters before moving to New York. While the security protocol can put airport security to shame, once inside, it is a pleasant, sprawling campus. As usual, the infrastructure is world class, meeting rooms well spaced out and translations are excellent.
