European Parliament | Strasbourg

A very memorable place to visit. A nice centre hall and the entire parliament building is very awesome. A valid ID proof is strictly needed to enter with a security check as in airports for the visitors. A lovely calm surroundings and nice sit-outs behind the river walk mentioned with european countries name.

Visiting the European Parliament in Strasbourg is a truly enlightening experience that highlights the best of European democracy and unity. Been there for my second time as a teacher for Euroscola sessions. The Louise Weiss building is an architectural masterpiece, blending modern aesthetics with a sense of historical significance that is visible from every angle. Stepping inside the Hemicycle is breathtaking, as you get to see exactly where the crucial plenary sessions and transnational debates take place. I was particularly impressed by the high-tech multimedia guides, which made the complex legislative process easy to understand in 24 different languages. The staff is exceptionally professional and welcoming, ensuring that the entire visit is both safe and highly educational for all ages.

Great place to visit if you are in any way interested in politics or the European Union. The day we went (mid September) it was not busy and didn’t have to wait anywhere. Don’t forget to bring your passport since there is a hefty security check. Entry is free and you don’t have to book in advance.

Definitely worth visiting, the entry is free and also a free audio guide available when visiting the plenary hall. You need to have your passport with you, driving license is not accepted.

European Parliament is a must visit place situated in the beautiful city of Strasbourg near the border of France and Germany. All the visitors are allowed to enter the EU Parliament without any charge. It was a fascinating experience walking through the Parliament campus, it's corridors and watching the Parliament as a guest. This is the place where the major economic and geopolitical decisions regarding Europe are drafted and executed. The European Union formed in the 90s consists of 27 nations as of today. The Parliament consists of more than 700 MEPs (Member of European Parliament), each of them representing a particular ideology of a party and not their country. The Parliament seats 12 times through a calendar year, once each month to execute the decisions for the betterment of Europe. If you are interested in Geopolitics and follow current news across the globe, this place is best suited for you. You can spare easily 1.5-2 hours during your visit watching and learning through the history of the formation of the EU and it's policy making. The viewers have a chance to experience the parliamentary seats virtually inside a room, which I appreciate a lot. In addition, the visitors can access the information of MEPs, and functioning of the EU through a display provided inside the campus. Note: Please carry original passport or document along with you to enter the building. Digital copies are not permitted.

Wonderful place to visit in Straßbourg. The entrance was very easy with ID-Card. From the rooftop, you can overlook the whole city and all of its important monuments. Inside the building are nice exhibitions focused on the EU, the current council presidency, Louise Weiss, and even seasonal projects like artworks from European youth. You get an audio guide and can play around with many installations to learn more about the EU. There is even a café and many interesting magazines to take home for free. A must on any trip to Straßburg 🇪🇺

I didn’t get a chance to get inside the building, so comment is only about its looks. Intentionally left looking unfinished as a sign of openness to new member countries, it could also be interpreted as a future sign of decay with countries leaving it.

The place is very beautiful and interesting. It tells story about European Union in the best way.🇪🇺
