Message from Management
The European Parliament deserves a place on your list of must-sees in Strasbourg. Here, you'll be immediately captivated by the splendor of the hemicycle, a remarkable building where the deputies of the 27 member states of the European Union sit. You'll also be invited to discover the challenges and achievements of the European Union. To get to the heart of European democracy, you can opt for a visit to a plenary session. You'll be captivated as you attend fascinating debates and watch MEPs discuss and vote on issues crucial to Europe's future. This immersion in the European legislative process is a fascinating and educational experience. You can also visit the Parliament outside plenary sessions. Interactive features, role-playing games and exhibitions will help you learn more about the workings, policies and projects of the Union. The Parlamentarium Simone Veil also invites you to find out more about your representatives in the European Union and what they do. You'll also discover the lesser-known aspects of parliamentary life. A must-see site for an enriching, immersive visit!
