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.
