Recommended ways to get there, for guidance only.

From the Airport

Geneva Airport is linked to the city centre by a direct train. At the station, a connecting tram or bus takes you to the international organizations district in about ten minutes (indicative).

A taxi can reach the office in about twenty minutes depending on traffic. Travellers with luggage may prefer this option.

From the Station

From the main station, several urban transport lines serve the area. Get off at the stop nearest to Rue des Nations, then walk about five minutes (indicative).

A free transport ticket is generally given to travellers arriving by air; check the conditions in force before you leave.

On Foot and by Bicycle

The district is pedestrianized over much of its layout. Cycle paths lead to the office from the city centre, and bicycle racks are installed in front of the building.

Walking is the most pleasant option from the headquarters of other neighbouring international organizations, a few minutes away.

Accessibility

The entrance is at street level and a lift serves all floors. A marked route leads to the reception desk from the tram stop.

Please report any special needs in advance, such as assistance or an adapted document, so that the team can prepare for your visit.
