Friday Guided Tours
Every Friday at 14:00, we offer free public guided tours in UN City to anyone interested in learning about the United Nations.
Our guided tours will introduce you to the work of the UN, the 10 resident UN agencies working in UN City, the importance of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, and the sustainable features of the building.
The tours are held in and last approx. 45 minutes.
If you would like to experience a guided tour in UN City, please reserve a ticket via Eventbrite below.
PLEASE NOTE:
Each ticket is for one participant; booking one ticket does not mean you have booked one tour for an entire group of people. If you would like to book tickets for multiple persons, please reserve multiple tickets separately and include everyone’s full names. Please do not book tickets for someone else under your name. Full names, as per ID, are necessary due to security clearance upon entry to UN City. Your registration is not valid until you have received a confirmation e-mail.
