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!
Members' reviews on THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Wir waren im Rahmen einer Fortbildungsreise hier und es war sehr interessant. Die Führung war kurzweilig und informativ. Das Gebäude ist wirklich sehr imposant.
On expulse la Russie, on soutient l’un des pays les plus corrompus d’Europe et on laisse l’un de ceux qui blanchit l’argent de ce petit monde prendre la tête (tournante certes) de l’institution.
Une institution qui sert à quoi finalement ? Elle est coûteuse, occulte et inefficace, mais surtout, elle est le repère ultime de technocrates qui n’ont qu’une obsession : préserver leurs privilèges. Ces gens sont hors-sol !
Seul mérite finalement, faire de notre bonne ville de Strasbourg une capitale européenne.
