Where is the United Nations headquarters in NYC?

United Nations Headquarters is in Manhattan (New York City), on the east side of the island.  The UN headquarters building is located off of 1st Avenue between 42nd and 47th streets

While the skyscraper that you THINK is the United Nations headquarters (technically the “United Nations Secretariat Building” is between 42nd and 43rd street, the actual visitor’s entrance into United Nations headquarters building is opposite 45th street.

There is no parking at the UN headquarters building – the UN website recommends walking or taking public transportation. We were staying at the Sheraton Times Square New York , so we walked over.  One advantage of walking is that on your way to visit the United Nations Headquarters, you’ll pass by many countries’ diplomatic missions, so it makes a good game of “spot the flags”

You will see an entrance building on the east side of 1st Avenue opposite 45th street.  It looks like this

If you look closely in the picture, you can see 2 armed guards in front of the UN building who will not let you in… unless…. you get a visitor’s badge.

Getting a (free) visitor’s pass to visit United Nations headquarters

Unless you work there, you will need a Visitor Pass to visit the UN Headquarters building.  The Visitor’s Check-In office for the United Nations headquarters building is (conveniently) right across the street from United Nations Headquarters, on the northwest corner of 45th Street and 1st Avenue (801 First Avenue is the address)

The UN website suggests arriving to check-in at least one hour before any scheduled tours you might have to go through the security process.  The security check in building opens at 9 a.m. Monday through Friday and at 10 a.m. on weekends.  Every visitor 18 and older needs to show government ID (original; no photocopies) in order to get a visitor pass.  The UN website does not mention this, but there is a sign in the building stating that your identification must be in English

My daughter (10 years old at the time) did not need to show ID but also got a visitor’s pass / bracelet.  Children under 5 years of age are not permitted to visit the United Nations headquarters building (supposedly for “security” but I’m not sure I understand that)

You’ll get a badge that looks something like this

and then you can cross back over 1st Avenue to visit the UN headquarters building

When to visit the United Nations Headquarters building in New York

The United Nations headquarters building is open most days from 9 a.m. (weekdays) or 10 a.m. (weekends) to 5 p.m.  Although the UN building itself closes at 5 p.m. they stop letting people inside at 4:30

• Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm
• Saturday & Sunday from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm.
• All visitors must exit the building by 5:30pm

Visiting the UN headquarters building is not allowed on certain holidays – check the UN website for more information.  Another thing to note is that guided tours are only offered on weekdays, while the United Nations headquarters building lobby, shops and Post Office are open on weekends (except January and February)

How to visit United Nations headquarters for free

There are United Nations tours that are guided tours (but only on weekdays; see above).  The current price for United Nations tours is $22 for adults, $15 for “Students” (ages 13+) and Seniors (60+) and $13 for children ages 5-12 (Children under 5 are not permitted on UN tours or in the UN headquarters building at all).

That’s well and good, but we want to visit United Nations headquarters for FREE!

When my daughter and I were at the United Nations headquarters building, we decided not to pay for a UN tour and instead just visit the building.  The good news is that the lobby, shops, Post Office and atrium are open for free and even on weekends (when there are no UN guided tours)

We were there on a Sunday morning – it was super empty and I felt that it was a good time for general reflection.  The atrium in the United Nations headquarters building in NYC is very large and has lots of information about the United Nations itself, UNICEF, and other

I enjoyed this picture of former UN secretary general Boutrous Boutrous Ghali ( thank you Animaniacs !)

The shops were closed because we were there pretty early in the morning, but we spent an hour or so looking at the different displays both inside

and the sculptures outside the United Nations headquarters building

Definitely worth a trip to United Nations headquarters if you’re visiting NYC.

Have you been to the United Nations headquarters building in New York City?  If you took the UN Tour, was it worth it?  Or would you recommend just visiting the lobby and atrium for free?

Do you have to be in a tour to visit here?

No. We went in without a tour, but I’d imagine if you’re on the tour, you may have better access to things. For my purposes, just walking around the “open” part of the building was more than enough

Thank you for sharing this information.

Had a wonderful visit to United Nations Headquarter yesterday! Thanks

I’m glad you had a good time!

Tour the United Nations Headquarters in NYC

Ben Hider/Getty Images

Strolling through the fascinating corridors of international diplomacy at Manhattan's United Nations Headquarters is an educational journey not to be missed. Interestingly, while set on the east side of Midtown Manhattan, fronting the East River, the U.N.'s 18-acre parcel of land is considered "international territory" that belongs to members of the United Nations and is, therefore, not technically part of the United States. An hour-long tour here offers enriching insight into the important work of the United Nations organization.

What Will I See?

The best (and only) way to see the inner workings of the United Nations Headquarters is via guided tour. Approximately hour-long guided tours are offered Monday through Friday from 9:30 am to 4:45 pm. Tours start in the General Assembly building and afford a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the organization, including a visit to the General Assembly Hall. The General Assembly Hall is the largest room in the United Nations, with seating capacity for more than 1,800 people. In this room, representatives of all 193 Member States gather to discuss pressing issues that require international cooperation.

Tours also take in the Security Council Chamber, as well as the Trusteeship Council Chamber and the Economic and Social Council Chamber (note that access may be limited to rooms if meetings are in progress). En route, tour participants will learn more about the history and structure of the organization, including the scope of issues that the United Nations regularly deals with, including human rights, peace and security, disarmament, and more.

Note that a kid-friendly Children's Tour, geared towards children ages 5 to 12, is also available for booking with advance online purchase; all participating kids must be accompanied by an adult or chaperone.  

What Is the History?

The United Nations Headquarters complex was completed in New York City in 1952 on land donated to the city by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The buildings contain chambers for the Security Council and General Assembly, as well as offices for the Secretary-General and other international civil servants. The complex received an extensive overhaul in celebration of the United Nations' 70th anniversary in 2015.

Where Is It Located? 

Fronting the East River, the United Nations Headquarters is located on 1st Avenue between East 42nd and East 48th Streets; the main visitors' entrance is at 46th Street and 1st Avenue. Note that all visitors need to first get a security pass to visit the complex; passes are issued at the check-in office at 801 1st Avenue (at the corner of 45th Street).

Guided tours are available on weekdays only; the UN Visitors Lobby with exhibits and UN Visitor Center remains open on weekends (though not in January and February). It's highly recommended to book your tickets for guided tours online in advance; a limited number of tickets may be available for purchase at the United Nations on the day of your visit. Note that children under 5 years of age are not permitted on the tours. (Tip: Plan to arrive at least an hour in advance of your scheduled tour to allow for time to go through the security screening.) There is a Visitors Café serving food and beverages (including coffee) on-site.

The UN Headquarters in New York

Visiting the united nations headquarters in new york.

You've probably seen meetings at the United Nations headquarters on television – that’s where the 15 member states of the Security Council meet. But not many people know that this large building, located in New York City along the East River in Manhattan, is actually open to the public. It is possible to take a tour of the UN headquarters in New York, and it is even one of the most visited places in the city, welcoming more than a million people every year. 

In this post, you will find out everything you need to know to prepare your visit to the UN headquarters in New York . This is an activity you can unhesitatingly add to your list of things to visit, especially if you don't know what to do in New York yet.

THE UNITED NATIONS HEADQUARTERS

The United Nations was founded in 1945 , in the aftermath of the Second World War, by the representatives of 51 countries. The purpose of this organisation is to help coordinate international operations, ensure the maintenance of peace, and improve security, economy and respect for human rights.

There are currently 193 member states of the UN, and the organisation’s headquarters are located in New York. The headquarters, however, are not U.S. territory – the territory belongs jointly to all member states.

The UN headquarters are actually composed of 4 major buildings:  the General Assembly, the Dag Hammarskjöld Library, the Secretariat Building and the Conference Hall Building . In front of the entrance to the complex are the 193 flags  of the UN member countries, which are arranged in alphabetical order and form a large arc. To symbolise the equality of all member states, all of these flags share the exact same distance between them. 

THE ENTRANCE TO THE UN HEADQUARTERS BUILDING

You do not need a ticket to access the building's inner courtyard and main lobby – but should you want to go further, you must first go to the  visitors' desk , which is located at the corner of First Avenue and 45th Street. You will be asked for your reservation and a valid ID. You will need to arrive at this desk at least 45 minutes before your visit.

Once you have passed through security, you will receive your Security Pass, after which you can cross the street to the main building. More security checks await you before the tour begins, but in the central  hall  you will already see many works of art that have been donated to the UN by heads of state. You can also see photo exhibits  and videos that showcase the work of the UN and address issues such as children's rights and global warming.

Your guided tour will begin from this central hall.

THE GUIDED TOUR OF THE UNITED NATIONS HEADQUARTERS

The visits of the UN buildings are done during the week and last about one hour. The tour begins in the lobby with a brief presentation of the United  Nations , including its history, member states and missions.

You will then have the opportunity to discover the famous conference rooms that can be seen during television news. It is there that meetings and debates on often very difficult topics are held. One of the most famous of these rooms is the Trusteeship Council Room , one of the six major organs of the UN, which is responsible for making decisions regarding the territories under the UN's trusteeship.

During your visit, you will not be able to visit the rooms that are occupied by parliamentarians – but never fear: a projection screen will have been placed at the entrance of the rooms concerned, thereby allowing you to follow live the sessions in progress.

The highlight of your visit will be the United Nations General Assembly Hall , which has received many world leaders, and where important decisions are regularly taken on international security issues.

To finish your visit, you can go to the store, where you can find books and souvenirs of all kinds. This store is located in the basement, and you can also find a restaurant and the post office right next to it.

In this post office you can find UN stamps, which are only usable in the territory of the United Nations, and which can be used to send a most original postcard to your relatives.

BOOK YOUR GUIDED TOUR OF THE UN BUILDING

The tours are offered in six official languages of the UN (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish). If you wish to take a guided tour in one of these foreign languages , I recommend booking your tour at least 2 months prior to your visit .  You should know that for security reasons, the tours are done in small groups only, and due to the building’s popularity, you will have a hard time finding a place in a tour, if you wait too long before booking one.

Even if you want to take a tour in English, I advise you to book a few weeks before the date of your choice.

Reservations are made online on the official UN website . As you make your reservation, you will have to choose the time of your visit. The United Nations building is open to the public   from Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 4:45 pm.

RATES FOR THE UN HEADQUARTERS TOUR

• For adults, the price of the visit is   $ 22 (£17) per person
• For people over 60 years old and students (upon presentation of their student card), the visit costs $ 15 (£11.50)
• For children aged 5 to 12, the tour costs $ 12 (£9)
• Children under 5 years of age are not allowed to visit

HOW TO GET TO THE UNITED NATIONS HEADQUARTERS?

The UN headquarters is located in Manhattan 's Midtown neighbourhood, right on the East River. To get there, you can take the 42nd Street bus or the underground to the iconic Grand Central Station, from which you can walk down 42nd Street.

Remembering the One and Only Uno

By Richard Sandomir

• Sept. 24, 2018

Any doubt that a show dog knew he was performing for a big arena crowd was dispelled on Feb. 11, 2008, during the first night of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

It was the night that a national audience was introduced to Uno, a merry 15-inch-tall beagle, born three years earlier in Belleville, Ill. Uno, who died last week at 13, was competing in the hound group against 25 other rivals when he bayed at the judge Ralph Lemcke several times. After that first howl (or was it a croon?), it became clear that Uno was engaging in some type of strategic behavior.

One, two, three times, maybe more (in memory it seems to have been a canine soliloquy), Uno sent a wordless message that wowed the well-dressed crowd at Madison Square Garden.

“He’s saying to the judge, ‘Look at me,’” his handler, Aaron Wilkerson, said afterward. “So he just plants his feet and bays away.”

When Lemcke named Uno the winner of the hound group, he said, “This is one of the best hounds I’ve ever seen.”

The next night, Uno was one of seven group winners vying for Best in Show, entering the Garden’s green-carpeted floor to a thunderous applause that confirmed his star power. He was now the favorite son in love with the bright lights and the roar of the crowd. Elevating his popularity was that the beagle was a breed familiar to millions.

And after baying his way into the heart of the judge, Dr. J. Donald Jones, Uno won the title, the first ever by a beagle at Westminster.

“He’s the most perfect beagle I’ve ever seen,” Jones said.

Uno’s victory that night was the start of a 10-year after-show life as Westminster’s most popular winner, a well-traveled reign that included a visit to the White House to visit George W. and Laura Bush and ended last week when he died of cancer on the ranch he shared with his owner, Caroline Dowell, in Austin, Tex.

He was sterile and left no children.

I count myself among those who were captivated by Uno. He was charming, accomplished and playful enough for me to consider writing a book about him. Gay Talese had Frank Sinatra. I had Uno. I followed him around, but the book never came off, probably because Uno’s verbal skills were confined largely to expressive baying. He would sit on command but not for interviews. He did steal my lunch off a desk at Westminster headquarters, a cherished memory.

I met up with him in St. Louis, where I saw people do double takes wherever he was taken by his squire, David Frei, then the longtime voice of the Westminster show broadcast and head of the kennel club’s communications.

“Is that Uno?” people kept asking — and if Uno could have given autographs and stood still for selfies, he would have. He was, however, shown a flicker of disrespect when a restaurant ordained that he eat outside with his human posse. They were not Uno fans.

On a visit to Busch Stadium, he was ushered into St. Louis Cardinals Manager Tony La Russa’s office. Uno sniffed around for a while, and La Russa, an animal rescue activist, invited Uno to urinate on his carpeting. Uno declined the offer — he could hold it in, thank you very much — and continued his stadium rounds until he trotted onto the field to fetch the first pitch from Fredbird, the Cardinals’ mascot.

Late in the game, Uno was snoozing in a luxury box, his muzzle on Frei’s right thigh. The crowd rose in a standing ovation as the Cardinals loaded the bases. He awoke with a start and leapt to his feet. He was fully alert now — I do not recall him baying — seemingly ready for his victory lap.

“He thinks the applause is for him,” said Kathy Weichert, one of his breeders, who was part of his pack.

Of course he did. When it was time that day to finally do what La Russa suggested he do, he left the stadium with Frei holding his leash. A young couple asked Frei if they could take pictures of Uno. Frei said that would be fine, but suggested that they wait until Uno finished his business. As the couple waited, the husband said that he was trashing pictures of his children on his cellphone to make room for snaps of Uno.

Frei and I shook our heads in amazement.

Several months later, I met Frei and Uno at 77th Street and Central Park West, hours before the start of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Uno had become, by then, a world-famous beagle and was asked to ride the Peanuts float, which was built to look like a giant version of Snoopy’s doghouse. It was a lovely canine moment: a real 28-pound beagle standing in for a beloved comics beagle.

On that crisp morning, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg stopped by to greet Uno, who calmly posed for grip-and-grin photos, but he soon hopped onto the float, with Frei in tow, and behaved professionally in the hours it took for the float to complete its full route.

Uno maintained his popularity long after other Westminster champions had been crowned but always returned home to Austin, where Dowell, a bunch of rescue beagles and a potbellied pig awaited him.

In 2015, after another beagle, Miss P, won Westminster’s Best in Show, it was a time for celebration: Miss P was Uno’s grandniece, the closest he would get to a victory by a progeny.

I called Dowell late that night. She said that Uno had not watched the show.

But she insisted that the graying Uno was still in good shape, then added, “You can put him in the ring, and he’d win tonight.”

Mattel offering a chance to earn $4K a week to play new Uno Quatro game in NYC

• Published: Aug. 03, 2023, 11:03 a.m.

Mattel recently announced a nationwide search for the first-ever Chief Uno Player, a part-time position responsible for introducing fans to the latest innovation — Uno Quatro. (Graphic provided by Business Wire)

• Annalise Knudson | [email protected]

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — If you consider yourself to be a super fan of Uno, you could now get paid $4,000 a week to play a new version of the card game.

Mattel announced a nationwide search for the first-ever Chief Uno Player, a part-time position responsible for introducing fans to the latest innovation — Uno Quatro. The new game combines the challenge of getting four in a row with the classic Uno game strategy of matching colors or numbers.

To celebrate the launch of the game, the Chief Uno Player will have fun tasks ahead of them, like challenging worthy competitors to a game of Uno Quatro and teaching the new rules to fans.

Starting Sept. 13, the Chief Uno Player will report to challenge fans in spirited gameplay for four hours a day, four days a week, for four weeks. The office is located at Pier 17 - The Seaport in Manhattan.

And the job will earn $4,444.44 a week for the four weeks – netting nearly $18,000 for a lucky player.

“We’re constantly looking to create new ways for fans to engage with UNO – and with the nationwide search for the first-ever Chief Uno Player, we’re bringing in-person gameplay to fans in a way they’ve never experienced before,” said Ray Adler, vice president and global head of games, Mattel. “We’re thrilled to offer a position to the ultimate UNO player to help introduce our brand-new game, UNO Quatro, to the world. Who wouldn’t want to spend their afternoons playing UNO – and best of all, getting paid while doing it?”

You’ll need to apply by Aug. 10 by stitching this TikTok video from the Uno account that calls for applications.

The main requirements to apply are a love for the Uno brand, an outgoing personality to speak with and challenge anyone walking by, and being able to work in New York City.

Applicants must also be U.S. residents and 18 years old or older to apply. For more information, visit https://shop.mattel.com/pages/chief-uno-player .

The Vienna International Centre (VIC), known locally as UNO City, is one of the four official headquarters of the United Nations, along with New York, Geneva and Nairobi.

The VIC is home to members of the UN family working in a variety of ways to promote peace, human rights and sustainable development. They ensure the peaceful use of nuclear technology and outer space, strive to bring an end to nuclear testing, reduce poverty, and help make the world safer from drugs, crime and terrorism.

You can visit the VIC on a guided tour with a multilingual guide. Highlights of the tour usually include visiting a conference room and exhibits such as a real piece of moon rock. Visitors interested in art have the possibility to book an art tour to see original works by renowned artists ranging from Friedensreich Hundertwasser to Hermann Nitsch.

Please find newest information about your visit on the UN Vienna visitors service website .
