Visite guidée - Français

Visiting the United Nations Headquarters in New York City offers a unique opportunity to explore the inner workings of one of the world’s most important international institutions. All visitors must complete an online registration through the official United Nations security website before arriving to ensure a smooth entry process. Upon arrival, guests aged eighteen and older are required to present a valid, original government-issued photo identification from a UN Member State or a non-member observer State, written in Latin or Roman characters. Acceptable forms of identification include passports, driver’s licenses, national identity cards, and IDNYC cards, and only original physical documents are accepted. These security measures are in place to maintain the safety of visitors, staff, and delegates while allowing the public to experience the Headquarters in a secure environment.

Guided tours provide an engaging way to explore the United Nations, including the General Assembly Hall, Security Council Chamber, Trusteeship Council Chamber, and the Economic and Social Council Chamber. Guests learn how the UN addresses critical global issues such as disarmament, peace and security, human rights, and the promotion of Sustainable Development Goals. Visitors first check in at the designated Visitors Registration Desk, then pass through security before entering the General Assembly Building and checking in at the Guided Tour Registration Desk. Tours are designed to be accessible to all and are offered in multiple languages, with English provided if the requested language is unavailable. Visitors should be aware that high-level meetings or diplomatic events may occasionally restrict access to certain areas on short notice. By following the registration and identification requirements, guests can enjoy a safe, seamless, and memorable experience while gaining insight into the work and impact of the United Nations.
