Very interesting to learn about the United Nations and the role the Vienna location plays. It was exciting to see real world offices and meeting rooms. It’s not as flashy as I imagined it would be. lol But it is inspiring to see an international organization working for our best human interests. The tour is one hour. It would have been nice to see a little bit more, but maybe there’s not much...

I really enjoyed my visit here - granted, I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to geopolitics, but I think there’s value to everyone in booking a tour here. Our guide, Henry, was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the UN and global history, not to mention the buildings here themselves. A really interesting visit and I would recommend adding it to your to-do list in Vienna!
