Getting to WHO
WHO headquarters building is situated at the end of Avenue Appia on the
outskirts of Geneva, about three kilometres from the centre of town and about
one and a half kilometres from the Palais des Nations.
Taxis
Most Geneva taxi drivers know the headquarters building as "OMS"
(Avenue Appia).
There are taxi stands located at almost all main squares in Geneva and
outside the Palais des Nations. Taxis can be called by telephone by the
following numbers: 320 20 20, 320 22 02 and 33 141 33.
It takes about ten minutes to get to WHO from the airport or from the railway
station. The approximate fares are 25-30sfr and 20sfr, respectively.
Bus service
From Monday to Friday, WHO can be reached by bus "8" - with the
destination board indicating OMS. It runs from Veyrier and WHO via Rive (the
centre of town) and the Place Cornavin (railway station).
Tickets must be purchased before entering buses. Individual tickets are
available from vending machines at the bus stops. The normal fare for one adult
ticket is 2.20 sfr. Please note that the vending machines do not give change.
Cards for multiple trips at a reduced price can be purchased at the Naville
Kiosk in the headquarters building and from newsagents in town bearing the “TPG”
sign.
There is no "8" bus service to WHO on Saturday, Sundays and public
holidays. As an alternative, the "F" bus service runs from the Place
Cornavin to Ferney Voltaire/Gex (France), stopping at the Vie-des-Champs next to
UNAIDS building. The “F” bus runs on Saturdays and Sundays as well as during
the week every 30 minutes.
Bus “18” runs from the Place des Nations via Vie-des-Champs to Palexpo
and the airport, every 30 minutes from Monday to Saturday and various times on
Sunday.
The relevant bus timetables are displayed on the board next to the WHO
reception desk as well as at all bus stops. Parking space is very limited and
visitors are encouraged to use public transportation.
