We had a guided tour and were lucky enough to see a couple of actual events taking place, there is a lot of security not surprising and you get and insight into this famous building. There are beautiful gardens at the back and some stunning architecture. The only thing confusing was the entrance to the UN, as you assume its... More

It depends upon your interests. If you want to see where World history is made (and you should); it's a must. It's not very interesting in itself (just empty conference chambers), but this is where Korea and Vietnam were settled; let alone Gulf 1 and Gulf 2 World history is made here More

Beautiful building and park! One can take a guided tour through the whole complex. I like better the "old" part of the building, the new side is also nice but not so interesting. There is a shop too, where you can do some shopping. More
