  United Nations

This is the actual entrance to the United Nations in Geneva. It is considered the largest and most active center for conferences in the world. Many historic negotiations have taken place here. It was build in 1936 as headquarters for the League of Nations and was taken over by the United Nations after World War II. It is open daily and tours are available from 10 am until noon, and then from 2 pm until 4 pm. In the summer during July and August tours start at 9 am and the last tour is at 6 pm. All tours are guided. There is very strict security. We had to provide identification before entering. We were required to leave our drivers license at the gate before we were allowed to enter.
