¡Conoce la historia del distrito internacional!

El distrito internacional es una prueba viviente del importante papel que desempeñó Ginebra, hogar de más de 200 organizaciones internacionales, a escala internacional.

Estas organizaciones se encuentran en la orilla derecha del lago alrededor de la Place des Nations y la imponente sede europea de las Naciones Unidas. El parque vecino de La Perle du Lac le hace honor a su nombre: es una perla en la maravillosa orilla del lago. No te puedes ir sin visitar el Museo Internacional de la Cruz Roja y de la Media Luna Roja, que cuenta la tremendamente emotiva y dramática historia del movimiento humanitario de Ginebra desde 1863 hasta ahora.

The humanitarian trail of the Red Cross

The self-guided walking tour that will take you through the international story of Geneva

The humanitarian trail of the Red Cross is an adaptation of the historical and thematic trail created for the 33rd International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement held in Geneva on 4-12 December 2019. Take a humanitarian journey through the history of the Red Cross as you immerse yourself in the city of Geneva. 

Follow the walking trail through the Old Town to discover how a handful of Genevan citizens started the Red Cross story and how it quickly unfolded into humanitarian action and, later, the development of international humanitarian law. The trail features landmarks that are rich in history and symbolism.

To pursue the humanitarian experience and discover the next chapters of the Red Cross story, head towards Geneva's international district. 

You can find the brochure that will guide you through the trail at the Tourist Information Centre or it is also accessible here with an interactive map.
