Information
visits are organised for groups composed of a minimum of 20 people and
a maximum of 45. Exceptionally, larger groups can be accepted on
request.
Visits last between two and three hours and include a
general introduction by an EP official to the role and work of the
European Parliament. This could be followed by a discussion with an
MEP, if parliamentary business allows, and observation of MEPs' debates
'live' from the visitors' gallery.
As we receive a very large number of requests for visits, we recommend that you apply two to three months in advance.
To find out more information, please consult the
webpage of the Parliament.
