The tour was very informative and interesting as was our guide. If you want to find out somerhing more about the importance of Vienna, other than Hapsburg history and touch the future at the same time, this, The UN Vienna International Centre is just that, and more.

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.

A really interesting visit and I would recommend adding it to your to-do list in Vienna!
