About Palace of Nations in Geneva

Palace of Nations is located in Ariana Park, it houses the European Headquarters of the United Nations and is the largest UN center after New York.

Initially, the Palace of Nations was built for the League of Nations. To design the palaces, an architectural design competition was held in the 1920s. The jury of architects had to select a winner from three hundred and thirty seven entries. They couldn’t come to a decision, so they ended up picking five architects to build the palace.

The Palace of Nations is the second largest building complex in Europe. Two intentions were later added to the building after transferring to United Nations. Underneath the Palace of Nations’ foundation stone is a time capsule containing a document listing the names of the League of Nations member states, a copy of the covenant of the League, and specimen coins of all the countries represented at the league's tenth assembly. The Palace of Nations Geneva Switzerland is overlooking the lake of Geneva and a beautiful view of the Alps.

There are over 120,000 visitors yearly who visit the Palace. One can take the Palace of Nations Tour to know various interesting facts about it.

Ratnika's 9 days trip to Geneva

The travel agent was very supportive and always available whenever we needed assistance, which we truly appreciated. However, our overall experience could have been even better with a more detailed and well-structured itinerary. Having clearer information in advance would have helped us avoid last-minute confusion and stress at the destination

Swati's 7 days trip to Geneva

We went to Switzerland and Austria in a group of 3 girls. Special thanks to Anmol for accommodating last minute cancellation and making sure we still did not end up paying extra and also for suggesting some great places to visit in Switzerland. Big thanks to Aniket for being with us from start to end and even during late night hours while we were on the trip. Very few agents go the extra mile to provide personalised service and guidance at each step. We were provided the best of hotels, each one near public transport. They even shared clear guidelines on how to reach every spot. I would definitely recommend Knowravel for planning Europe trips and I myself will avail their services repeatedly.
