Brussels hosts the main offices of the Members of the European Parliament. A visit to the Hemicycle (plenary chamber) is a great way to soak up the exciting atmosphere of the world’s largest transnational parliament and find out about its powers and role.

The Hemicycle can seat all 705 Members of the European Parliament. During plenary sessions it is used for the European Parliament’s largest and most important debates, providing the setting for many historic votes.

Download the European Parliament’s multimedia guide and visit the Hemicycle at your own pace.

The multimedia guide contains a walk through the heart of the European Parliament, including an introduction from the President of the European Parliament, the hemicycle itself, as well as testimonials from interpreters and ushers.

Please note that multimedia guided visits are not possible during plenary sessions.
