Introduction

The Palace of Nations, built in 1929, was chosen as the headquarters for the League of Nations in 1938 and later became the European headquarters for the United Nations in the 1950s. It is located in Ariana Park in the city of Geneva, which was donated to the city by the Revilliod de Rive family with the condition that some peacocks be allowed to roam free in the park, which now adds to the scenery of the area. To visit the Palace of Nations, one must join a guided tour and bring a passport or other form of identification, and book the tour in advance. The tour lasts for one hour and guided tours are available in English and French.
