How to get there
Bus
Recommended
Several bus lines stop directly in front of or very near the museum at the "Appia" bus stop. From Geneva's main train station (Gare Cornavin), take bus line 8, 20, 60, or 61.
Taxi
Recommended
Taxis can drop passengers off directly at the museum entrance on Avenue de la Paix; a ride from Gare Cornavin takes roughly 3 to 7 minutes depending on traffic.
Bike
A dedicated cycle path along Avenue de la Paix leads directly to the museum, where a bicycle park with 40 spaces is available for visitors.
Car
Travelers arriving by car can navigate towards the "Palais des Nations (ONU)". Parking is limited, but the closest major public parking garage is at Place des Nations, approximately a 10-minute walk from the museum.
Walking
The museum is accessible on foot. A pleasant 10-minute walk through the Parc de l'Ariana connects the Place des Nations to the museum. From Gare Cornavin, the walk is approximately 26 to 40 minutes.
