Palais des Nations tickets and arrival instructions
Treat your booking confirmation as part of the route planning. The Palais occupies a large site, and reaching Place des Nations does not mean you have reached the visitor entrance. Read the entry instructions before traveling, match your identification to the booking requirements and leave a margin for the walk and security procedures before the tour begins.

Tips for your visit
- Bring the original identification required by your booking, and check the rules for every member of your party.

- Check baggage restrictions before traveling, particularly if you are visiting between hotel checkout and a train departure.
Palais des Nations tickets and arrival instructions
Can I enter the Palais without joining a tour?
For a sightseeing visit, use the official guided tour booking process. Walking to the grounds does not give you access to the buildings.
Which identity document should I bring?
Check the accepted documents in your booking instructions and bring the required original. Do not rely on a photograph of your identification.
How early should I arrive?
Follow the arrival time in your confirmation and allow extra time to find the visitor entrance. Security checks happen before the tour itself.
Will my tour visit every meeting room?
Do not expect a fixed list of rooms. Working meetings and access restrictions can affect the route, so check the official description of the visit.
