Garden Tour

Visiting the United Nations Headquarters offers a unique opportunity to explore its grounds and learn about the organization’s rich history and global impact. All visitors must present a valid, original government-issued photo identification to enter the headquarters. The identification must be in Latin or Roman characters, and accepted forms include passports, driver’s licenses, or national identity cards. Photocopies or digital images are not accepted. These security measures ensure a safe and organized experience for all visitors while allowing them to explore the grounds and enjoy the carefully curated spaces at the United Nations.

The Garden Tour provides a serene and educational experience through the beautiful outdoor spaces of the United Nations Headquarters. Visitors can stroll among the vibrant rose collection and iconic cherry trees, while learning about the history behind the “George and the Dragon” statue. The tour also features a genuine segment of the Berlin Wall, offering a tangible connection to global history, and a hidden gem dedicated to Eleanor Roosevelt, one of the most influential women in the history of the United Nations. The tour is conducted in English and can be arranged for large groups upon request. While the gardens provide a peaceful and inspiring setting, the tour is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the beauty of the gardens while learning about the historical and cultural significance of the features that make the United Nations grounds so remarkable, combining education, reflection, and the opportunity to connect with global history in a unique outdoor setting.
