United Nations Headquarters

Make a reservation and collect your ticket at the building across the street before entering (free). Security screening is required. Arrive at the Visitors Check-in Office 45 minutes prior to your scheduled visit. The United Nations allows visitors entry on a first-come, first-served basis. Children under five are not allowed inside the UN headquarters. Meeting times are from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Inside the UN compound, a sealed gun represents peace over war, and a torn globe next to it symbolizes the need to protect the Earth.

You need to go to a place opposite first, you can ask the staff at the door, go through security check, take your passport for registration, and you will be given a visitor card. The visitor card should be attached to your body.

I also saw the teacher leading the students to explain the United Nations Conference Hall

There are some transparent rooms above the conference hall, which are for simultaneous interpretation staff. I think they are so awesome~

It was a very meaningful visit. My grandparents and I were there during the International Migration Conference. We took the opportunity to enter the conference hall with international representatives of different appearances, skin colors and hair colors. At the conference, some countries proposed that "immigration is a basic human right". It can be said that the naked world of the jungle more than half a century ago was unimaginable.

I insisted on going to the United Nations (I had to register my passport on a weekday, so I couldn't visit due to the annual general meeting), but ended up wasting time. The road was blocked and I couldn't get a taxi. Several online taxis were canceled because the drivers couldn't come. I didn't want to go back and take the subway, so I was forced to take a bus to South Street Seaport. The buses in the Big Apple are really slow, so I just took a nap.

Visitors can buy tickets to visit the United Nations, but they often follow guided tours through the empty halls. I was fortunate enough to attend a UN meeting. I had a delegate badge with my name on it, and was able to speak and discuss issues with diplomats. Watching the diplomats debate major international events and issues was incredibly exciting! I'll probably write a guide to attending a UN meeting someday. Feel free to send me a private message asking how to attend.

When you are in New York, you must visit the United Nations. However, due to time constraints, I did not enter and could only take photos and check in at the entrance. Although this piece of land was donated by the American oil tycoon Rockefeller, this building is still the only "international territory" in the world.

At the end of 42nd Street, the United Nations headquarters sits quietly on the banks of the East River. I've seen that slender blue glass rectangle many times, on television and in books, but now I finally see it in the real thing.

The tall, dense fence is adorned with the UN emblem, depicting an olive branch embracing the five continents. Although the interior is closed to visitors on weekends, security remains tight, with vehicles entering the building subject to strict inspection. The guard smiled at our curiosity, seemingly understanding our inner regret, and allowed us to lean over the railing and peer inside.

The flagpoles are bare and no flags are hung on them. One can only imagine the spectacular scene of flags from various countries fluttering in the west wind.

The park with its gates tightly closed looked somewhat desolate. Many birds were resting on the lawn, looking for food with their heads down, like subjects kneeling before the majestic statue.

The building opposite is owned by the current President Trump. It has black glass and golden edges, and looks mysterious and noble.

There are few vehicles on the roads outside Manhattan, and young people who love sports have turned them into safer running venues, jogging back and forth to exercise.

There are Chinese explanations, divided into time periods (there is a timetable on the official website), and you can take photos inside, but you cannot record or record audio.

I went there more than ten years ago, but I don't have a deep impression of it. I just visited the place where the United Nations held a meeting.

When I went there, there was no national flag at all. It looked like an ordinary office building.

The guards spoke Chinese very well, the military attachés from other countries at the UN were very handsome, and the Shanghai uncle who worked at the UN was very kind. Malala's story was very touching.

Located along the East River in Manhattan, New York, it is the headquarters of the United Nations and was built from October 1949 to June 1951.

The United Nations building is just like that, similar to what you see on the news, a big green building.

The guard at the door spoke Chinese very well. I happened to encounter a meeting. People always use their mobile phones in meetings. Inside, you can see some ready-made relics of the Hiroshima nuclear explosion in Japan, and the scenes that appear most frequently in the news. There are also some meeting documents from various countries, which you can take away as souvenirs.

Visiting the United Nations was a truly daunting experience. It opened at 9:00 AM, and since we lived nearby, we arrived around 7:30 AM. We pranced around the entrance, snapped some photos, then went across the street to register for photos. They gave me a sticker to put on my shirt, supposedly a pass. It wasn't even 8:00 AM when I returned to the UN building. Bored and with nothing to do, I started looking for my country's flag. After searching again and again, I finally spotted the five-star red flag in front of a large tree, but the tree's size blocked the wind, so I gave up. While waiting, I saw many people hurriedly entering with placards on their chests—both yellow, white, and black—probably staff. At 9:00 AM, the doors opened, and after a rigorous security check, we finally arrived inside. The plaza in front of the building featured many famous sculptures, including a globe and a pistol. Inside the UN building, the walls were decorated with photos of past UN Secretaries-General. Kofi Annan was probably the most familiar, but only his photo was framed in a black frame. On August 18th of this year, this most reformist Secretary-General passed away.

I went to the information desk inside the UN building and exchanged my pass for the guided tour, another sticker. Luckily, my assigned tour guide happened to be Chinese. She looked young, pretty, and very approachable. I suddenly envied her for working at the UN. The entire tour was in English. We were shown around the UN's major venues and learned about its various sub-units, such as the peacekeeping force and the environmental protection team. The tour ended not far from a souvenir shop. I bought postcards and envelopes, stamped them, and didn't mail them for fear of losing them.

To visit the United Nations, you need to make an online reservation and pay an entrance fee of about $25 per person. I personally think it's worth going in to visit. Across the street from the gate, there is a guard post where you can go in to exchange your ticket. Only one person can enter at a time, and the security is very strict. This place makes me proud as a Chinese, because Taiwanese passports are not allowed to enter. There is a Chinese tour guide, but to be honest, it is very ordinary and cannot be compared with the English tour guide next to it. Many things are glossed over.

The United Nations Building is on Second Avenue and is free to visit. First, go to the door of an office across the street that issues passes and ask the security guard for a sticker to stick on yourself. This is your pass. If the United Nations is holding a meeting, it would be interesting to go in and see the meeting scene. It would be boring if there is no meeting. Besides, the United Nations has now become a decoration and a vase.

The entrance to the UN headquarters is free, but you need to register and go through security check. After receiving the wristband, we entered the UN. There are some very famous sculptures here, which symbolize peace and multiculturalism.

It was my first time seeing so many flags from different countries. The security line was incredibly strict, and they even took your photo. Inside, if you didn't know anyone, you could only visit the first floor or buy souvenirs on the basement level. On the first floor, you can see a lot of recent hot topics. In the shop, you can also buy cards, which can be mailed. The stamps are really interesting.

To enter the UN headquarters, you must first register with your ID card. Your passport is essential. The registration office is located somewhat confusingly; it's not at the main entrance, but in the office building across the street, at the Visitors' Office at 45th Street and 1st Avenue. There's a blue sign at the entrance. The office is small, and a guard limits the number of people allowed in. If you're traveling as a family or group, just designate one person to go in and register, while the others wait outside. Tickets are $22 per person. For security reasons, children under five are not allowed inside the UN headquarters. Entering the UN headquarters requires strict security checks. First, you'll be greeted by a large plaza filled with sculptures donated by various countries, some dedicated to protecting the planet and others emphasizing the prohibition of violence. We were led into the building's lobby, where we were divided into groups and assigned to a designated guide. Individuals were not allowed to travel alone. The tour lasted 45-60 minutes. Tours are available in the six official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish. Other languages must be reserved in advance. The corridors of the building are filled with large paintings, tapestries, photographs, and exhibits dedicated to human peace.

With classmates, make an appointment in advance and enter the exhibition hall to visit the atmosphere, which is suitable for children to visit

You also need to make an appointment in advance on the official website to visit the United Nations. The exhibits of the United Nations are basically against war and the theme of peace.

A must-see in New York! It broadens your horizons, broadens your horizons, and boosts national pride and confidence!

Thankfully, I'd done my homework and booked a 10:45 AM presentation via Fengfeng. It was truly fascinating. We registered at the vistor's office an hour early, queued, and went through security. We then waited inside until the presentation began. Then, the staff led us on our tour. The Economic and Social Council venue, built and operated with Swedish aid, was relatively simple, offering a very low-carbon experience. The UN General Assembly venue was undergoing renovations, with a focus on increasing accessibility for people with disabilities.

Visitors can buy United Nations stamps at the post office inside and mail them from within the building.

The ticket price for visiting the United Nations is: Adults: US$12.50; Seniors (60 years and above): US$8.00; Students (with valid student ID): US$8.00; Children (5 to 12 years old): US$6.50.

It was a holiday, so there was no national flag hanging on the flagpole outside. Opposite was the Trump World Tower, which was quite spectacular!

The day we visited was Sunday, so we didn’t get to take any photos of the flags of various countries. There were only flagpoles but no flags, which was a bit of a shame!

● Visiting the United Nations requires passport control and security checks. Please arrive at the Visitors Check-in Office 45 minutes in advance.

● Please dress appropriately when visiting the United Nations. Your guide will allow time for photos during the tour. If a conference room is in session, it will not be accessible for photography. Your guide will provide an introduction outside the room.

● You can buy the same-day guided tour ticket at the ticket office on the first floor of the United Nations Visitor Hall.

A place full of old men and women and tour groups, hahahahaha. Since it was the weekend, there were no flags of various countries and no meeting rooms to be seen.

My idol, Liang Sicheng, represented China in the design of the United Nations Headquarters. I'm so proud of him!

There are two types of visits to the United Nations. One is free, and you can only visit the first floor lobby and the underground gift shop. If you want an in-depth tour, you can go to the official website to book a tour, which allows you to visit various meeting places, but remember to arrive 30 minutes earlier than the appointment time to avoid queuing at the registration or security check.

Regardless of your visit, you'll need to register at the small blue room across from the UN building. Remember to bring your passport! After receiving your sticker or wristband, return to the street to go through security and then pass through the square to the main hall.

My appointment was for the Mandarin-speaking group at 4 p.m., with a capacity of 20 people per session. A beautiful young woman led us up to the third floor, offering a tour and explanation. There was a conference room in the building where a meeting was already underway. I had no idea that such a high-end venue was accessible to ordinary people like me.

I thought it was free to visit, but I didn't expect there was a fee. In such a place of love and peace, there was actually a fee. When I went in to visit, I happened to run into a meeting inside.

There are several particularly famous statues at the United Nations headquarters, one of which is called Broken Earth. It warns people to protect the environment, otherwise the earth will be destroyed.

It is worth coming, especially with parents. Make an appointment with a Chinese tour guide in advance.

It was a pity that the UN headquarters was closed at 5pm when we arrived.

You can go in and visit, but just look at the conference hall.

Very shocking! It feels really good and is worth a visit!

In the fenced area in the distance, you'll find the famous sculpture "Swords into Plowshares." Don't miss it. Restrooms are limited within the visitor area, and the more convenient ones are located in the basement. When I visited in 2016, visitors could get a UN stamp in their passports at the souvenir shop. This time, when I revisited UN headquarters, they no longer offer stamps.

It was already evening when we arrived here, and there were no national flags on the flagpoles.

A very informative experience, very beneficial

You can buy tickets to visit the check-in location or make reservations online in advance.

The United Nations Headquarters is located in Manhattan, approximately two kilometers from the original site of the World Trade Center. The building was designed by 11 international architects (including Mr. Liang Sicheng of my country) over a six-year project. We were only able to visit from the outside. The building's curtain wall is made of dark green, heat-absorbing glass. From a distance, it appears not only majestic but also light and smooth, giving it a mysterious feel. The flags of the participating nations hang magnificently in front of the building. The UN Headquarters spans from 48th Street to 42nd Street. The flags are arranged in alphabetical order, with the flag of Afghanistan first on 48th Street and the flag of Zimbabwe last on 42nd Street.

The UN Headquarters building offers a tranquil and refreshing atmosphere, a stark contrast to the bustling and chaotic New York City. It is a piece of international territory belonging to no single nation. Standing before it, one feels a profound sense of peace and tranquility. May the people of the world be free from war and enjoy everlasting peace.

I went there 10 years ago. There are photos of all the secretaries-general. I left a message in the guestbook.

The United Nations Headquarters is located on the east side of Manhattan in New York City, on the banks of the East River. The building spans approximately 67,000 square meters and occupies six blocks, bounded by East 42nd Street to the south, East 48th Street to the north, First Avenue to the west, and overlooking the East River to the east. Construction began in 1947, with the cornerstone laid on October 24, 1949, and completed in 1952. The U.S. government provided a $65 million interest-free loan, which fully covered the cost of the entire building.

I passed by and didn't get off the bus. I just looked at it. I don't know if I can get in.

However, it was Sunday, so none of the flags were raised. The guidebook said CCTV filmed the United Nations at 43rd Street and First Avenue, but there were no flags flying today. It didn't make any sense. The entrance was across from 45th Street. The guard told us it was free and we had to register at the visitor center across the street, at the intersection of 45th Street and First Avenue. Weekend hours were from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. There was a large globe statue, a gift from Italy, and there were gifts from many other countries, but I couldn't find any from China. The gift shop on the first floor of B sold postcards. The post office was right next door, but it wasn't open. There was a mailbox, but you could only buy sheets of commemorative stamps there, which was expensive. Postage to send a postcard abroad is $1.15 per card. The mailbox is right outside the post office. Honestly, American mailboxes look like trash cans, so I always mistake them for trash cans. So, my little wish to send a postcard has finally come true. If the post office were open, I'd probably get a UN stamp.

I have seen it so many times on TV, and finally arrived in person. It's a pity that there are no flags of all nations hanging on the flagpole.

Located in the east-central part of Manhattan, it's a short walk from the middle floors. The United Nations building stands tall and straight. The street is lined with flags of all kinds, and there are benches on the sidewalk outside. There are many Korean tour groups. It's very clean. First, go to the pass office across the street. A security guard is at the entrance. You can enter with your passport, and then you'll be given a sticker to apply to your body. It's free. After pressing the button at the entrance to enter the UN, you'll need to go through security. There's a small plaza with several bronze sculptures with meaningful stories. Inside the building, there's a souvenir shop, a food bar, and a water bar. The free area seems to be from floors 1 to X (I've forgotten). You need to buy a ticket to go to the top floor. You'll see portraits of past UN leaders and the remarkable achievements of the UN (if you carefully read the stories on the wall). I think it's worth going because it's not far away, especially for taking souvenir photos. You can also visit the Korean short skirt school uniforms.

It is impossible to see all the flags of the 193 member states. The general feeling I have is that the atmosphere is solemn, and I personally think there is not much to see.

I just talked about love and peace. The two sculptures outside are worth taking pictures. The first floor is for explanations and the downstairs is for selling things. Haha, but by chance, I made friends with a service staff there. He is very nice. It is worth going.

Enter after taking a photo with your ID on the other side of the road

You need to book your tickets online in advance. You can book a Chinese-speaking tour guide. Security is very strict, so it's best to enter half an hour early. The mutton rice on the basement floor is super delicious and you must try it. Employees can get a 50% discount! You can also mail a postcard to yourself for $2 and get a UN stamp on your passport.

The only international territory in the world - the United Nations Headquarters. As for the architectural appearance, well, you must be practicing Mies' principle of "less is more".

From the outside, it looks no different from an ordinary office building, and it doesn't look as grand as some high-end office buildings.

It is a worthwhile attraction, free to visit, please pay attention to the language of the tour guide, preferably Chinese explanation

Well worth a visit. You must join a tour group, which costs US$10. Here's the itinerary.

The United Nations Headquarters, located in Manhattan, New York, consists of three buildings of varying styles. Currently, some areas are open to visitors. With valid identification (such as a passport), visitors can obtain a pass at the Visitor Center across from the headquarters. After passing through security, they can enter the main lobby, where they can observe representatives from various countries gathered in conference rooms, large and small, to discuss relevant issues.

If you are not going to a meeting, you don't need to go. If you go, you can only visit the small exhibition hall on the first floor and the souvenir shop on the underground floor.

I visited the United Nations headquarters in New York in December 1995. What impressed me most was a message written in various languages: "Welcome to the United Nations. This is your world!"

The United Nations GPS is marked as 42nd Street, but the entrance is near 45th or 46th Street. You need to register in the house on the west side of the road, then queue up at the entrance steps on the east side of the road to enter and pay.

The Chinese language tour wasn't available, so we had to take the English tour. Even then, a quarter of the group was Chinese. A handsome Italian guy led the tour, explaining how to hold a meeting, and other things like anti-war, anti-landmine, anti-hunger, etc. The tour lasted about 30-40 minutes.

It is said that Lao Pan lives on the 38th floor. Well, let’s go there for a cup of coffee when we have time!

Book your ticket online and have a guide take you to visit some conference halls in the United Nations.

The United Nations Headquarters in New York City doesn't have many visitors, and many areas are closed to the public. However, the souvenir shop inside is quite good.

A large tall building, you can make an appointment to visit, it is a very meaningful place!

There are dedicated staff to explain the tour, and you need to make an appointment online in advance. You can send postcards on the first floor.

I arrived at the United Nations headquarters on June 9th. I first had to register opposite the United Nations, then go through security check, and put the hat in my bag.

The weather was particularly good on the day we went to the United Nations headquarters, with blue sky, large white clouds, and sculptures symbolizing peace... You need to wear a wristband and go through security checks to enter the United Nations building!

In the United States, often called the "world police," the United Nations Headquarters is a truly valuable cultural attraction. English-speaking guides guided us through most of the conference rooms and the various exhibits. A gun transformed into a violin symbolized "art, not war." Seeing these people from all over the world working so hard for the world was truly awe-inspiring.

The security check was very strict and very troublesome. You had to go across the street to make an appointment and then go through a very detailed security check before entering. There was really nothing to see inside. Many places are not open to tourists.

If you can visit, those who are interested in this aspect must go, but they must check before going for frequent maintenance.

A majestic building, people all over the world hope for peace👌

You must get there early. We arrived in the afternoon and didn't dare to visit the interior of the United Nations.

After returning to New York from Boston, I took half a day to visit the United Nations headquarters. It was a bit of a pity that I couldn't go inside because it was the weekend.

Although the United Nations can't play any role now, I still feel like I should go and take a look.

There is a residential complex opposite the United Nations. It looks nice. I wonder if it is where UN staff live. It is really convenient for commuting.

You can go in and visit, but it's not free. I didn't go in, I just looked at it from the outside.

Construction of the United Nations Headquarters, located on the Hudson River, began in 1947, with the cornerstone laid on October 24, 1949, and completed in 1952. It was one of the first buildings to feature glass curtain walls. The US government provided a $65 million interest-free loan, which covered the entire loan. Because the Pope was in New York, the roads were closed, so we had to tour the area by car.
