Om
Snabba fakta: The parliament hosts sessions where 705 Members of the European Parliament discuss laws affecting over 447 million people across Europe. The building's striking modern design contrasts sharply with the historic charm of the city around it.
Höjdpunkter: Inside, a hemicycle offers visitors a close-up view of democratic debates with seating for all MEPs around a glowing blue chamber floor. Witnessing the symbolic acts like the signing of major treaties here offers a unique insight into European unity and politics.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes as the tour includes walking through large halls and galleries.
- Photography is allowed in public areas but avoid flash during sessions to respect the proceedings.
- Arrive early to join free guided tours which offer detailed insights you won’t get otherwise.
- Skip weekends to avoid closure, as the chamber is closed without sessions and the visitor facilities offer less activity.
Har du hört talas om gratis guidade vandringar?
Efter att ha rest till över 30 länder finns det en sak jag önskar att någon hade berättat för mig från början, och det förändrade helt hur jag upplever nya städer.
Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar
Stora sevärdheter, dolda pärlor, lokala historier
100% dricksbaserat
Guider tjänar endast dricks, så de ger sitt absolut bästa
Du ger dricks efter eget tycke
I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker Strasbourg, France, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
