Visit the United Nations

United Nations in Vienna offers you a unique opportunity to get an insight into global policy making. We are the world center for issues such as nuclear explosions, hi-tech satelites or international crime prevention and you can be a part of it.

Multilingual guides from all around the world will guide you through the amazing world of the United Nations and introduce you to the work of the Vienna-based organizations. You will have a chance to visit our latest exhibitions and a conference room where everything happens.

Guided tours are available in German, English and a number of other languages. For all those who would like to spend an hour with one of our employees and discuss topical world issues, we also offer our special United Nations Lectures programme.

As of 2011 we offer two special tours: an Art Tour and a Human Rights Tour
