Its amazing to stand there and see the flags of all the nations. Memorable place to be!Also an amazing skyline of Brooklyn visible from here.

It’s a marvel to see all of the nations flags flying all at once! Unfortunately the building was on lock down and no visitors were allowed. Still a wonderful location to have such a reverent idea put into a place that represents so many beautiful people and cultures.

Wonderful building but closed due to covid :(

This place is a great spot for viewing 4th of July fireworks! 🎇 The United Nations HQ offers hour-long guided tours in multiple languages (English, Arabic, Russian, and more) for a behind-the-scenes look of the inner-workings of the UN. This could be a good option for a family activity on rainy days during your NYC visit 🗽. I wish the tour was free!

Place of Noble, clean, tidy, nice scenery and peacefull. Dignity to visit.

#SOSCuba NO more lies. We need an intervention right now. There are people dying on the streets just because they are asking for freedom.

I will recommend 100 percent. Great customer service.

Memories from USA! United Nations Headquarters. What do I remember from the UN, I send a postcard to myself. I think it is a haunting. Travelling gives you unforgettable memories. 😁#manhattan #newyork #usa #unitednations #unitednationsheadquarters #unpostoffice #theknottedgun #spherewithinsphere

One of the greatest things that the US has ever done is creation of the United Nations! To marvel at the aquamarine glass of the UN Secretariat Building, is to marvel at the power, influence, diplomacy and greatness of America. While there, you can take one of their tours. Nothing like it. This is where the world comes to say what it wants to say. The freedom of this place is matched only by the prestige all the flags bring to America each time they flutter and herald names of lands distant and foreign - but very much a part of the great commity of nations that together comprise our world!

Ago They provide guided tours with those who want more detailed features in the headquarters. The tours are, of course, not for free and can be applied for online but they are totally worthy. For those who are travelling NYC in not enough budgets, this is not sure but I assume you can just go in the buildings. During the security check at the building right across the HQ, you can say the purpose is for tour. But you would not be able to enter the specially purposed places, but the first floor and the souvenir shop downstairs possibly. Not sure, so please check with others!

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), its chock full of many beautiful, gorgeous works of art donated by all member nations.

You should definitely visit UN, every corner has a history to tell. It must be an incredible feeling to work here. This was my 3rd time and I want to go back again

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.

It was one of the highlights of our New York trip to be at the UN building. Can you imagine being right at the center of the Worlds Stage?We got a guided tour to learn all about what UNs mission is and does. We were lucky to witness the General Assembly is session.There are 193 countries that are represented at the UN from permanent to non-permanent members.If you have not been to NY or the UN building, you owe it to yourself to go there. They are involved in worldwide peacekeeping missions to ensuring health and education and food and safety and planets future and more.

It is so different than in pictures or movies. The tour was excellent and changed my perspective of how the UN functions and how they can make a difference. Definitely a must see on a trip to New York.

Great 1960s Architecture!

Who will stop his word clearly with a lie. Jesus said like seriously ❤💙he was born out of the womb of Eve and old serpent 🐍Images and spiritual support development ✨of the universe Roman catholic church ⛪.

The tour was unexciting and most of the rooms arent even used anymore. Seems like theyre trying to paint a better picture of UN than it actually is, and we dont even get to visit the places where actual UN work is done. For $13, not worth at all to look at 3 unused rooms

A mausoleum, the work of Oscar Niemeyer! a living proof that alien intelligence is among us we Humans!

If you are in NYC and have time this is a must visit. Definitely book one of the tours in advance from the website. Make sure to get there early as you have to check in across the road in a separate building first and ensure you have your passport.The tour is very informative and its great to see everything in person that you see on TV. It also gives you an appreciation and better understanding of everything the UN does.After the tour it finishes near some gift shops that sell items from all the member states and a great cafe. We really enjoyed and spent a few hours after the tour just walking about and looking at all the various displays etc. Once you are in as a guest and after the tour ends you can stay for as long as you like essential (or at least until it closes lol).Plenty of great photo ops aswell. Definitely an A+.

I got emotional when I entered the building for the first time. I went to NYC for a model UN and I absolutely had a wonderful experience. Entrance procedures took a long time but it was obviously for a good cause: security was strict. I felt safe.

Unite States is a organization to develop human peace and progress, is a symbol of civilization.

One of the better tours I’ve ever been on in NYC. Hands down!! Educational. Fascinating. The artwork is beautiful that’s been donated. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.My only recommendation would be more knowledge of the architecture of the building and how it was built and designed. That was the part I was more interested in.

The visitors centre which you must go to first is like an army recruitment camp. You get screamed at and a lot of rules are blasted at you.After going through security there is a lot more relaxed and friendly atmosphere.The guide although knowledgeable kind of rushed us through some areas and did not engage with us in a friendly manner. She was very reserved and to the point.Two of the people on our tour continuously broke the rules even after having been warned 3x. They should have been escorted out but were not.The rules were no audio or video recording. Photos ok! Simple really.

Simply marvelous. So much history. So many great events. You need a full day to see it.

It was a great experience to be part of history. United Nations as it stands has been a great initiative by mankind. This tour gives you a chance to go around different meeting rooms through the headquarters of the building. It is a history/civics lesson for the three pillars of the UN. All in all a great experience for history buffs. Moneys worth.

Now I know why they say UN is a dream come true. Truly inspiring and humbling to be there!

Impressive place! We learnt many things about the building, the chambers and the UN in general. Highly recommended!

Great time exploring right before I went to dinner. I honestly love my own company & self love is a part of growth. Im Happy!

Attending the 🇺🇳United Nations International Youth Summit on Sustainable Cities, Communities, and Climate Change was unforgettable. Using that moment to educate our children on the importance of issues like global poverty, gender inequality, womens /childrens rights, youth empowerment, and Climate Activism.....simply priceless!!!!

It has three high rise buildings in very posh area of Manhattan. Visitors are allowed in one if them. It was great from outside, however inside wasnt as great as I was expecting. Inside interior is quite humble and simplistically designed. Just like any posh building in Islamabad. There were quotes on the walls from people around the world who contributed for the betterment of the world somehow. From Pakistan, it was Malalas...Then, there were souvenir shops and a little cafe. Walls were decorated with portraits of various world leaders. I liked the outer area more than the inner one. Its recommended to visit here if visiting New York because of its historical importance and for the sake of experience.

They have a nice website. Karen was nice on the phone.

This amazing complex has been the UNs head quarters since 1952. To visit it you need to do it with a tour, or you can also sneak in as guest of someone who works there. That would be the best as you could go to the UN bar, which the tour does not take you to! Either way better to visit it when is warm so you can walk outside without freeze.You will visit the multiple meeting and conference rooms, of different sizes, and each of them with a different decoration. The General Assembly is the biggest and probably the most famous one as we have seen it multiple times on TV. Lots of experience art in the corridors, donated by each of the member states.Really interesting place to visit.

Great Place.. I really enjoyed the time there. Before go just be sire about the security there and what not to bring. As well check in with your tickets. Tour guides will provide you a variety of beauriful areas. Try not to lost in the arena. Rest rooms are pretty packed up.

Nice tour-not too long, not too short. Informative, but not dry. I learned a lot and enjoyed it, though I would have liked a little extra time to see the artwork/gifts and exhibits near the general assembly room and disarmament exhibit a bit more...

We take a tour. It was very very interesting to learn more about the UN. For sure, it was really a great experience.

One of the best experiences in my life . It was on the 9th of August. I visited the Head quarters of the United States on a program of Indigenous People. The security of the UN HQ is so protective and they are so serious about their duties. But, friendly and helpful. Before you walk in youll see a lot of monuments and statues gifted to UN from other countries. After walking in youll discover a lot of architectural stuff. Nice gifts from Nations to the United Nations. Very satisfying. Also, they have a store you can buy stuff as a memory. The programs are very well organized and a lot of stuff to learn from people.Great memory!

A quick tour, too basic foe us! Not that interesting at all! I hope they should organize different levels of tours

Don’t miss this place!Such a historical place with so many important events related to the world’s affairs take place here.It’s the headquarters for 5 main organs of the UN, namely the Security Council, the General Assembly, Economic and Social Council, Trusteeship council and the Secretariat. The Secretary-general’s office is located here as well.It has so many beautiful art works, gifts from many countries, the member states of the UN.It has many cafes, souvenirs shops, book shop and more. It has paid guide tour which will take you to many great meeting rooms and historic spots.Don’t miss it!

Great experience inside! Total security here- theres a small office infront United Nations that you need to pass through first in which they take a copy of Your Identification card inorder to enter and a picture! You then pass to metal detectors and finally in the building in which you see the history of the different technology that was used back then in order to communicate with other countries! A cafe/food place is here and even a bookshop,clothing shop . Great experience to visit if you want to discover more of the jobs and meetings being held here !

I didn’t have enough time to tour fully and have a complete experience but the little time spent there was enlightening and amazing! However make sure whenever you want to go you take your actual passport and not a photocopy or Driver’s license as it wouldn’t be accepted. One person’s passport can allow at least 10 people in as a group.It’s definitely a must go if you ever go to NY!

Very cool experience visiting the UNHQ. I wasnt part of a tour group, so I cant vouch for that, but there was plenty to see and learn about without an official guided tour.

The tour is fine.You get to see the general assembly, security council and trusteeship council halls.Beware that in one or more of these halls, meetings might be ongoing and you may not get to see it.Also, although some people get to visit the floor of these halls, visitors on tours are not allowed to even get close to the floor.Im still wondering who were the others who could tour the floor - which is actually what I was expecting of a tour of the UN.Theres a check-in and a security check before you can enter the building, too. So, if you have purchased your ticket online, prepare to be there about half an hour early.

What I liked about the place is, you find all the great personalities intros there in the UN secretariat, regardless of their skin color, religion or culture. A real sense of United Nations.

Amazing experience. Did the UN tour while I was there. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the tour itself covered many interesting tidbits about the UN as a whole. Wish we could have had some time to self explore, but given the location, I understand why we werent afforded that opportunity.

What can I say...? Extremely interesting location of global importance, go to the visitor center on 1st Ave/45 St, get your ticket and do a tour! Youll see...

Very nice view from across the river where the Pepsi sign at hunters point park.--Very close view right at the UN buildingIts open for tours.There are also places of worship inside the UN as I personally attended the Friday prayer inside and it was wonderful!

Don’t bother coming on the weekends, there really isn’t much to do other than walk around the General Assembly and the courtyard. Try getting a tour if you can. However, the building itself is really impressive, and is filled with history. The overall feel from the interior is reminiscent of an upscale conference centre from the 80s.

We went on a weekday for the tours which are $20 / Adult and $12 / students. When we initially checked online a week before, there were no tickets available but the night before they opened up. So make sure you check the website regularly. Otherwise you can go there and buy the ticket for the next available tour.Make sure you go to the Visitor center across the street from the UN building to check in and get your hand band. They only allow 1 person in the group/family to go in. Kids are welcome to go with parents so they can get a nice experience. Then you go across the street to the UN Building through security. No water bottles just like airline security. There are water fountains inside the UN building to fill them up.The tours start inside the building and run every 15 minutes and they last around 45 minutes to 1 hour. Some tour guides see good; ours was ok. We had a hard time understanding her with her accent. They take you through the various rooms where the delegates meet and discuss and provide a history of each of the initiatives of the UN. Dont miss the stone statue which was scarred from the atomic bomb. It was smooth on the side that fell and faced the ground and scarred on the back due to the intense heat.After the tour, there is a cafe and a gift shop in the basement. You can stay as long as you want afterwards, but there really isnt much to see.

Wonderful place for global human community, a Hope of peace and prosperity, unfortunately it is not working likely

I follow my teacher visit there. So I dont know how to come inside for any ways. But here Learning something.

“You wanna visit if you have interest in world affairs”Have seen this building in news since childhoodAll countries flags. big delegationUnfortunately for me, when I went, there were no flags.so that feel was not there bt yeah seeing this green glass building was good enough for me.You can visit inside by taking tickets.

Well worth doing the tour. We had an excellent guide who was very knowledgable and engaging.

Loved my visit to the UN! Thank you so much, Asim!

Nice place to take a picture in front of the headquarters

The guided tours are great!

It was a beautiful experience....I indeed felt at peace!

Entry is free but you have to carry some state I.d. or your passport if you are a foreign national, good way to spend an hour or so when visiting New York

Wonderful tour and building. The whole concept of this organization is very rosy but unfortunately they accomplish little in the way of real change outside of unicef and some humanitarian missions.

Great place ever to visit but the general public has limited access, i feel honoured to be the Member of UN Global steering committee and explore UNHQ in and out. I would advice General Visitors to go to visitor centre which is infront of UNHQ building to get pass of limited entry

Located on the east side overlooking Long Island City, Queens. The great thing about United Nations is that it is a diverse community of people with mutual interest.

The tour was a great experience. I learned many things about UN contributions to the world.

Built by my Dad. Beautiful building. Stands tall

It is truly an inspiring moment to be at the UN headquarters. Tour of the UN gives one an immense knowledge about its functioning. Staffs were cordial and kind enough to provide us the information required. One can buy souvenirs at the shop at the basement.

Nice visit! It has been very exciting to visit the UN headquarters

I really enjoyed the visit. It was great opportunity to see and hear about the great work done by this institution and to to be inspired.

Tours are very professional, and informative. The UN itself does such important work; and getting in and visiting helps to show how much they do! I’d recommend this even to those who don’t have a particular interest in politics or governance. The artwork, architecture, concept, and beautiful vistas are amazing.

A definite must see for anyone visiting New York. We were a bit disappointed though by the presentation given by the UN colleague in English language, since we didn’t actually get any relevant answers to our questions on the tour.Make sure to book the tour at least a month in advance to get your spot. The price of the tour is quite high for what you get, which is seeing 4-5 key UN meeting rooms (such as security council).Funny story : after the tour we went to one of the shops in UN selling T-shirts. We asked the sales woman as to what the T-shirts represented (which cause) and she wasn’t able to tell us. She never took the time to actually understand what she was selling.

A fabulous tour at UN understanding the importance of world peace and tolerance of different culture. Thank you for all the staff members’ services!

Great guided tours, information, and a cool gift shop. Lots of well done ways to visualize information in the museum sections through infographics, charts, and interactive exhibits. Also fun to see all the UN member flags out front, very beautiful.

Strongly recommend the tour. The UN represents the hope of one world where people can respect each other and hope for a better future for all of us.

Took a guided tour in English, and the tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable in both the history of the building as well as the history of the United Nations as a world organization.The tour took us through the building showing various pieces of artwork as well as some of the conference halls, which were quite impressive.The content and history of it all is obviously very impactful, however the delivery of the content by the tour guide tended to be a bit dry and difficult to stay engaged at times.

Today bts permission dance

It was a hundred and four out that felt like a hundred and ten it was hot beautiful sun was out clear skies worked a double in the heat the cafeteria is off the hook nice and cold AC was running have a big screen TV food is okay more microwavable they should have better choices in their food overall I love working in the UN United Nations

Interesting tour. Buy the ticket in advance. Its one hour learning facts and you get to enter all the assemblies where such important decisions are made.

I’d like my refund

A very good and productive visit, the tours were very well planned and the cafe at the basement was very good!

Love the gift shop inside. Not many made in China stuff.

Visiting UN ❤️

Great place for earths peace if humans would walk in peaceful pace. Iconic memorabilia including the Transatlantic Slaverys Lest We Forget. Breathtaking art and act of life. Go there, a place to go go!#TeamYowamca

Excellent exhibitions on issues of justice from around the world. Beautiful art pieces, days for children and a gift shop

Really good tour and tour guide. You have the opportunity to learn and understand how this organization works.

United Nations headquarter located on a good spot. There are visitor tours organized from Monday to Friday.

It’s a must to be here... the work of the UN should be honored.

It is a great place to work! I mean there is no bigger stage in the world than the UN. I grew up in a culture where everyone asks you when you are a kid, whether you want to be a doctor, engineer, lawyer or play cricket for Sri Lanka when you grow up? When I said that I want to play cricket, work at @unitednations and be a diplomat one day, people laughed at my last two ambitions. Every Sri Lankan is born with the dream of playing cricket for Sri Lanka and so did I, but only a very few get the chance to fulfill the dream at once and I was not one of them. Yet here I am today at a UN General Assembly.There are so many tourists who come and visit NYC and i think visiting the UN is a must but please make sure you get tickets early.

Great example of goodness in humanity. Also great challenge of world collaboration.

Good because you have always heard and read about it. Flags of all countries at the circumference make you feel that the world is one.

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.

Would just like to know when the UN decided to go full authoritarian. WE DO NOT CONSENT.

The UN Headquarters is an amazing place to visit and to make things happen. Visiting during General Assembly is a busy time to go!

This was a great experience. The guides are really good and the tour is enlightening. Just remember that before you get in, you have to check in in the building in front of the UN. That can take 10 min or more.

Wow! So glad we took this tour. Our great tour guide was not only informative but beautiful to boot. Cafeteria on lower level. Only disappointment...too cold for the flags to be hung outside.

It was my first time overseas. In June this year, I was able to go to New York for the Conference of State Parties (COSP) to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). It was at the United Nations (U.N.). I was able to speak at 2 events, a side event and an intervention in the main assembly hall. I was blown away by all different kinds of people speaking about all kinds of disabilities, coming from different areas or countries.The place has very high security. We had to be well prepared with our passports and our passes. We had to show them all the time, there was security at all entrances. It was amazing when we went in there, the people there were very organised and well trained to deal with people of different impairments. They were very helpful with the lifts, and there were staff in the lifts all the time. It was very accessible, I could move my wheelchair around easily.I was honoured to represent Australia and proud of my indigenous background, speaking on behalf of my people. I hope to do it again, wether it is in New York or Geneva. Seeing the different approaches of the U.N.I was very proud, because I never thought I would be speaking overseas and speaking at the U.N. was another level. My dad always said to me there are many doors but you need the right key to open the right door and follow your dreams.

Great guided tour. Every area was accessible, no meetings in progress.

A great place to visit.... stick it on your list. Normally groups go (school trips etc) but good for singles as well.

A nation in itself. Book a tour and access information for historical and educational purposes. Mind blowing

An interesting exhibit that I was lucky enough to visit. You learn a lot if you take the guided tours.

This is truly a unique experience if youre somewhat interested in politics, international cooperation or similar.We were able to pre-order the tickets for the tour online. Actually, this was so seamless that we made the order on the subway on our way there, on the subway between Times Square and Grand Central. The price was about $30 per person.Afterwards, we had to assign one leader of our group to go for a security check inn. The assigned person needs to provide ID such as passport. Once this process is done, the group can proceed to the next security check point, at the UN building itself. Once done, your group may enter the building and proceed to the tour area.The tour itself was quite inspirational. We ended up with a very energetic and dedicated tour guide. Which I believe enhanced the experience. Very informative. Its also nice that we were given plenty of time to take pictures within the different chambers of the building.I will gladly recommend this experience to others.

Very nice place. Well known at NY. Place that everybody can visit easily. I think one should register first online and received one day pass ID and thats all. Welcome to the UN.
