Activities in Geneva

We offer unique activities and tours in Geneva. Geneva is the undisputed heart of global governance. On our private tours you learn from our expert guides about the world’s most crucial diplomatic networks. Geneva is home to the UN’s European headquarters at the Palais des Nations and dozens of specialized international organizations like the WHO and WTO. The city’s International District is a powerhouse of multilateral action. Beyond the standard UN tour, our specialized walking tours provide deep insight into diplomacy and global development. These experiences allow you to step inside the chambers where history is made and learn firsthand about the collective efforts to maintain peace and promote global cooperation.

The Palais des Nations, along with other assets of the dissolved League of Nations, was transferred to the United Nations in 1946. In 1947, the League of Nations Museum was founded to display the predecessor organization’s documents and artifacts. After a significant redesign in 2015, it was renamed the UN Museum Geneva, broadening its focus to include the work of the UN and the connection between the two bodies. Since 2025, the institution has been known as the UN History Museum Geneva and has expanded its presence online. The Permanent Exhibition showcases unique documents from various archives, tracing the evolution of the multilateral system from the League of Nations to the modern UN. It underscores Geneva’s vital role in international affairs and encourages reflection on the future of multilateralism. Furthermore, the museum offers comprehensive Digital Experiences, accessible via computer, tablet, or smartphone, to broaden access to its historical knowledge and archives globally. Shorter, highlight-focused digital visits are also available on smartphones.

Visit the Centre William Rappard (CWR), the home of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and a building that bears witness to over 90 years of international cooperation. Conceived between 1923 and 1926 as part of he post-World War I effort to create institutions like the League of Nations that would encourage multilateral cooperation and the peaceful resolution of conflicts, the CWR was the first building in Geneva designed to house an international organization, specifically the International Labour Organization (ILO). After the ILO departed for its new headquarters in 1975, the building hosted the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the library of the Graduate Institute of International Studies (IUHEI), and the Secretariat of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), before finally becoming the headquarters of the WTO in 1995.
Guided tours last about one hour and focus on the art and architecture of the building rather than the functions of the WTO or the world trading system. Contact us now to book your private tour to WTO.

What are the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces that govern their interactions? How does the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—the world’s most powerful particle accelerator—work, and what pivotal role does it play in answering these questions? What is the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), what are its core mission and objectives, and what groundbreaking experiments are conducted on its sprawling premises?
On our tours at CERN we welcome you to explore the profound mysteries of the universe and the innovative work of the globe’s premier physics laboratory. These exclusive tours are led by CERN physicists, engineers, students, and staff, who offer in-depth explorations of fascinating sites across the complex. Contact us now to book your tour to CERN.

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum (MICR), located in Geneva, Switzerland—the birthplace of modern humanitarian action—offers a unique and moving journey into 160 years of global compassion. Situated directly opposite the United Nations office, the Museum serves as a powerful place of memory, creation, and debate, encouraging visitors to reflect on the core question: “How does humanitarian action concern us all, here and now?” Through its permanent exhibition, “The Humanitarian Adventure,” the Museum organizes its narrative around three major contemporary challenges—Defending Human Dignity, Restoring Family Links, and Reducing Natural Risks. These immersive spaces, each designed by a renowned architect from a different cultural background, use personal testimonies, historical artifacts (including the original Geneva Convention), and interactive installations to transform visitors from passive observers into active participants in the ongoing humanitarian mission.

Often dubbed the “Balcony of Geneva,” Mont Salève is a pre-Alp mountain culminating at 1,379 meters. It offers the most accessible and impressive views overlooking Geneva, Lake Geneva, the Jura mountains, and the majestic Mont Blanc massif. We will ascend via the famous Téléphérique du Salève (cable car), which provides a thrilling ride and continuously expanding vistas during the short climb to the summit area. Once at the top, you’ll have ample time to enjoy the panoramic terraces. You can take a gentle walk along the ridge, watch paragliders launch into the air (weather permitting), and capture stunning photographs. This stop is purely about the scenery and the fresh air.

What were the origins of the Reformation, and how did this 16th-century religious revolution fundamentally reshape not only Christianity but also global culture, politics, and commerce? What pivotal role did Geneva, under the influence of John Calvin, play as the “Protestant Rome” in this sweeping historical movement? Housed in the elegant 18th-century Maison Mallet, on the very site where Geneva voted to adopt the Reformation in 1536, the International Museum of the Reformation (MIR) is the world’s only secular museum dedicated entirely to this profound history. Featuring original manuscripts from figures like Martin Luther and Calvin, alongside interactive and engaging displays, the museum invites visitors to trace the five-century-long global impact of Protestantism right up to the present day.
