Visits and Seminars Unit - Post E: Financial sector

The European Parliament stands for European democracy. We help connect it to people.

We work to provide complete and impartial information to citizens and media about the European Parliament and assist our Members in their communication activities.

The Directorate-General for Communication (DG COMM) strives to reach and engage the right audience with the right message at the right time and in doing so, deliver world-class communication. We are committed communication professionals coming from various professional and academic backgrounds.

Visiting the European Parliament enables citizens to build a direct relationship with the European institutions and examine Europe from a European perspective. Citizens can visit in Brussels, where it is possible to visit the Hemicycle, Parlamentarium or House of European History, or in Strasbourg. Europa Experiences are bringing the visitor experience to citizens around Europe. The visiting facilities are aimed at many audiences, including families, young people and the educational sector. Different activities, such as the permanent exhibitions and role-play game cater to various interests, whether academic or curious. The European Parliament aims to offer an unrivalled visitor experience among parliaments. In total the visitor facilities serve over 1,250,000 visits a year. As part of DG COMM, these activities are run by the Directorate for Visitors.
