Several buses stop at the Place des Nations, where the Palais des Nations is located. Buses 5, 8, F, V and Z, leave from Cornavin train station and stop at the Place des Nations. Buses 8, F, V and Z also pass by the Pregny gate, which is the entrance for tour groups or those without UN accreditation. Bus 18 goes from the Place des Nations to the airport. Buses 11 and 14 also stop at the Place des Nations.
There are ticket machines at most bus stops where you can buy individual tickets. Bus cards or passes can be bought at the main bus centres (Rive, Cornavin train station, or Bachet de Pesay), and at news-stands. |

| How to enter the Palais des Nations |
There are two gates to the Palais des Nations: on the Place des Nations and on the route de Pregny, in front of the ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross).
If you don’t have UN identification, you will have to go to the Pregny Gate (see map). You will need valid identification, for example a passport or national identity card.
You can obtain a UN pass by applying to the UN/ECE secretariat staff. Valid identification is also required for this. The secretariat will issue documentation, which you should then take to the Security Services at the Pregny Gate, where identification passes are issued. There is no charge for this process.
Identification passes have an expiry date. After that date a further application must be submitted. Passes are not transmissible, and must be returned to the Security Services once they have expired.
Delegates and other visitors should be aware that there are certain restrictions on bringing luggage into the Palais. For more information click here. |

These telephones accept pre-paid phone cards, as well as credit cards.
