Standing on the eastern shore of Manhattan Island, on the banks of the East River, the United Nations Headquarters remains both a symbol of peace and a beacon of hope. Representatives of the earth’s seven billion people converge at the UN Headquarters to discuss and decide issues of peace, justice and economic and social well being.
Every year, the United Nations Headquarters in New York welcomes over 1 million visitors from around the world. You may book a Guided Tour of the UN Headquarters, visit the exhibits, browse the UN Bookshop, ask a question, purchase a souvenir, and send a postcard with a UN stamp. The Delegates Dining Room accepts lunch reservations during the week. Call 1-917-367-3314 for additional details.
