To visit or not to visit, that was the question. From the outside you think, ok, a boring place with uninteresting things. That was a wrong assumption as the visit is definitely worth it. It's best to book tickets online. These are also free. At the entrance the exam takes place like at the airport, after which everyone gets an audio guide and can choose the language they want. Then we start with the history of the EU. Very interestingly constructed. Images, texts, videos and lots of interactive things. There's a lot to see. It was planned to take 30 minutes, but it actually took 3 hours. There is an opportunity to take part in elections, learn a lot about the work on site and even have your own opinion photographed. Simply cool, modern and above all very interesting.

this museum is an amazing place. it works even on weekends and is absolutely free. here you can learn a lot of interesting things and in many rooms you can sit and relax studying new information

European Parliament is so big and huge , all with glass . So many different departments and different buildings connect to it . Back side have huge gardens and park connected to it . We went on a weekend so everything was closed . I recommend to visit on weekdays and can get ticket and look inside the parliament. Next time for sure I will go on week day with ticker and post here .

A nice place to learn and view about EU and how the events happened throughout the years. The tickets are free but you need to book in advance. It’s available online as well. There’s a locker as well to place the jackets and luggage.

(Translated by Google) We went there spontaneously today and because there were very few visitors, we were able to register on site without any problems. All of the employees make an effort and the exhibition is very informative. (Original) Wir sind heute ganz spontan dort hin und weil nur sehr wenige Besucher da waren, konnten wir uns problemlos vor Ort anmelden. Alle Mitarbeiter sind sehr bemüht und die Ausstellung ist sehr informativ.

It was a highly informative experience for me. You can obtain detailed information and the museum provides an interactive experience for both adults and children. Admission is free, but it is recommended to book in advance. They also offer lockers for visitors' belongings and provide audio guides.

Wow, what a fantastic visit! My family & I truly enjoyed this interactive exhibit. Highly recommended.

(Translated by Google) Definitely worth it. My two sons (17 and 15 years old) were also very interested. I think it is very good that the historical context and the original ideas and goals have been worked up very well and it is worth pursuing them further. (Original) Lohnt sich in jedem Fall. Meine beiden Söhne (17 und 15 Jahre alt) waren ebenfalls sehr interessiert. Sehr gut finde ich, dass der geschichtliche Kontext und die ursprünglichen Ideen und Ziele sehr gut aufgearbeitet sind und es sich lohnt, diese weiter zu verfolgen.

The heart of the EU for us citizens and residents. You will learn loads of things you didn’t know. It’s free. Free audio guides as well and a great gift shop. Free to use lockers too! Make sure you book before going in and sometimes they do ask for ID

The visit was very well organised. The measures taken against COVID were excellent. Many other museums could learn from this. The displays were clear and many languages were available, as should be expected of this type of museum. One slight imperfection is that the areas around the displays were a bit dark. Both structurally and organizationally there is little to complain about. One negative about the parlamentarium is that the more politically oriented information was very biased. It would have been interesting to see alternative perspectives and interpretations. The lack of critical reflection makes it feel more like a propaganda tour. This is sad to see because the parlamentarium is very educational, and has the potential to be one of the best museums in the EU. Ignoring this issue there is still a lot of interesting information regarding the historical development of the EU and its operations. Overall, I would still highly recommend people to visit the parlamentarium.

Better than expedted. It is interactive, the staff is kind and helpful. Much better than a simple museum. I think smaller kids will find it boring, but an adult can spend 1-2 hour inside.

Completely free and completely brilliant! They provide with an audio guide, and a pen to keep. The exhibition explains how the European Union started, how it evolved through the decades, and of course how it works today. It's very well presented, available in a myriad of languages, and has special guide options for children. There are also a lot of interactive exhibits.

Great place to find about the actions and events that led to the creation of the European Union and it's continous evolution. And best think is the knowledge you get is free. Tip: register ahead of your visit on the website so you wait less ahead of the security check.

An educational and very interesting place located in the Espace Leopold complex of the Parliament of Brussels. You will find out the history of the formation of the European Union. You will need a reservation that you can make online. Admission is free. You will receive an audio guide and you can selected the language you want to learn a lot about the history of the EU. There are many rooms where you can relax, are pictures and learn new information.

very interesting place to visit. you can get to know a lot of information about European Union. before entering you need to scan your things like at the airport. there are lockers so you don't have to carry your backpack. the museum is interactive. you can use an audio guide. there are clean toilets, free wifi and a souvenir shop.

(Translated by Google) Simply take a walk around the European Parliament, it is to be enjoyed to the fullest! There is an interactive museum of parliament and it is free, with the most technology, very entertaining and educational! It takes you an hour and a half to go through it and they offer you audio guide in your language! (Original) Simplemente dar una caminata por los alrededores del Parlamento Europeo, es de disfrutarse a lo máximo! Hay un museo interactivo del parlamento y es de entrada gratuita, con la mayor tecnología, muy entretenido y educativo! Te toma una hora y media recorrerlo y te ofrecen audio guía en tu idioma!

Interesting place to visit if you are visiting Europe.

One of the most interactive museums I’ve ever visited! Highly recommend visiting and please budget at least 90 minutes to explore the amazing and educational exhibits. The staff were all super helpful and friendly. I can’t believe that admissions are free considering everything Parlamentarium offers.

(Translated by Google) Interesting for its general culture (Original) Intéressan pour sa culture général

Since the beginning of the exhibition, we were greeted by extremely kind guides who have shown us around. All the information is presented in an understandable way, so there is no need to know anything about EU beforehand. However, people interested in politics still can easily find something exciting for them as well. The audioguides are easy to use, exhibitions interactive and well designed. Totally worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) You learn a lot about the EU, its history and the work of Parliament. Everything is very informative and there is also a lot of staff you can ask. In addition, the visit is of course free, you should only register online beforehand. If you visit Brussels it is definitely worth stopping by. (Original) Man erfährt viel über die EU, ihre Geschichte und die Arbeit des Parlaments. Alles ist sehr informativ gestaltet und es gibt auch viel Personal das man fragen kann. Außerdem ist der Besuch natürlich kostenlos, man sollte sich vorher nur online anmelden. Wenn man Brüssel besucht lohnt es sich auf jeden Fall hier vorbeizuschauen.

Significant visit on an anniversary May 2019- Poland joining EU- exp for our Kids- to understand better what can we achieve acting together. All places are worth to see- EU Parlament, Museum of EU and interactive Parlamentarium (interactive maps with interesting points are the best)

The place goes thru the history and creation of European Union and its main building moment. There are multiple interactives stations and all areas are triggered with an audio guide available in many many languages. The audio descriptions are interesting and short, allowing to learn without being too scholar. Some of the stations have seen better days and it’s a bit sad to notice that lack of maintenance in a cool place to visit.

Probably one of the most informative museums I've ever visited. Lots of resources and the staff is super kind. Free entrance as well.

(Translated by Google) Under no circumstances recommend this museum, the structure was very bad and gave extremely little. If you have a great love for the European Parliament, then you will appreciate this, but this comes from an EU skeptical perspective. But the low grade comes primarily because compared to other museums, the layout was bad and there was no direct red thread throughout the museum, the only kind of "red thread" is that it is worthy of the EU. What's not that strange when the museum is next to the parliament. (Original) Rekommenderar inte under några omständigheter detta museum, strukturen var mycket dåligt och gav extremt lite. Har man en stor kärlek till Europaparlamentet så lär man uppskatta detta men detta kommer från ett EU skeptiskt perspektiv. Men det låga betyget kommer primärt för att i jämfört med andra museum så var upplägget dåligt och det fanns ingen direkt röd tråd igenom hela museet, det enda typen av "röd tråd" är att man vurmar för EU. Vilket inte är så konstigt då museet ligger intill parlamentet.

(Translated by Google) This VISIT place is where all the people who want to enter to know the facilities and the European Parliament have to go and the best thing is they take a photo and they give it to you or they send it to your email and all completely FREE, the staff is very friendly . Those from the European Community can enter by showing their ID or PASSPORT without queuing. (Original) Este lugar VISIT es donde tienen que ir todas las personas que quieren ingresar a conocer las instalaciones y el Parlamento Europeo y lo mejor te hacen una foto y te la entregan o te la envían a tu correo y todo completamente GRATIS , el personal es muy amable. Los de la Comunidad Europea pueden entran mostrando su DNI o PASAPORTE sin formar cola.

a must-see in Brussels, not only for the EU geeks

Wow, very good presentation and a ton of interaction with various screens. You can explore the history, the present and the future of EU. Entrance is free but you have to book online. Audio guides are in every EU language. In the same time the audio guide gadget is the key for activating the interaction on many places.

Amazing place to visit. The entire story of the EU is presented in a truly amazing experience

A pretty interesting visit. Recommended if you are interested in history or on Holiday nearby.

Overall a nice and really interesting stay. The digital device that was given to you at the beginning made the visit more pleasant and you were more motivated to acquire new knowledge. The museum also had a varied design and you could even get active yourself in many places. The atmosphere was also pleasant and there was a pleasant climate in the various rooms. Perfect for an afternoon.

Do make a reservation online before visiting, no crowds but they will get you to show the QR code. Nice trip to learn about the EU, the interactive exhibitions downstairs were great. Free entry and free audio tour. Really enjoyed my time here, can spend up to 1.5hr if you want to listen to all their content.

The front door was broken and closed at the time of my visit, were no signs or staff to indicate how to enter. Once in, staff were pleasant but always had the feeling that I was putting them out by asking a question or making a purchase or putting my coat in cloak room. Visit itself was great, one guide was very eager to talk about the exhibition, and explained the other buildings we could visit. Really enjoyed it.

Free museum, where you learn all about the EU. Got a decent insight into the EU and it's democratic, governing ways. Still not happy about it's meddling with regards to the max volume on my mp3 player where outside volume is greater than my device's volume... Little bit annoyed I had to fill in an online form, only to find people being let in without needing to do this. Top marks for facilities and museum, but reception could do with a smile (grumpy girl will be the face for EU for me), unlike security who was great 👍.

Fantastic museum, super informative and really interactive. Great for those who have a good understanding of EU Politics, but also for beginners. Allows you to find out new information that appeals to everyone!

You could spend a lot of time reading the exhibits about the formation of EU & the history behind EU. Well set up & easy to understand. The info documentary was good. I had fun in the dome pretending to vote on screen. Staff very friendly helpful

Everyone should visit this interactive museum, so they can understand EU better. The personnel is incredibily kind.

You can learn EU history and know better about the Union at EU Parlamentarium in Brussels. Take your photo with a message about Climate change and see your photo pop up on the big screen is interesting yet motivating. Nice place.

Guides were pushing us through as if we were group of chicken, as fast as possible. Treat customers as those. Explanations were not structured, why talk first about Brussels if Brussels is in the 2 me spot, why not introduce Schumann and then show answers of Germany... One noticed there was lots of money spend, free high quality pen, on mediocre museum.

Had an interesting self tour with an audio guide. Many historical photos and video clips with some virtual experience. Great to learn about the decision-making process in EU. I just wish the staff there had been a bit more sensitive about somr racially insensitive comments they made. The lady greeted me in Chinese and I said "Sorry, I don't speak your language", then she, her male colleague, and another female colleague, all started saying things like "You look like Chinese", "We all thought you were Chinese", "I was also telling her that you must be Chinese"... I am used to this kind of casual racism in Europe (been to Europe at least 15 times), but it was a bit sad that even the staff in EU parliamentarium were so insensitive.

(Translated by Google) Interactive visit suitable for all audiences. Thanks to the ability to choose which panels to focus on and thanks to the very intuitive audio guide to use, it is possible to tailor your visit according to your interest and previous knowledge on the work and history of the EU Parliament. (Original) Visita interattiva adatta ad ogni genere di pubblico. Grazie alla possibilità di scegliere su quali pannelli focalizzarsi e grazie all’audio guida molto intuitiva da usare, è possibile costruire la propria visita su misura a seconda del proprio interesse e delle conoscenze pregresse sul lavoro e sulla storia del Parlamento UE.

I like the photo! Especially when it was posted on the wall! Feeling like i am engaging in an important meeting that affect the future of human being. After visit, i bought a safety pin of EU and CN.

It was an ok experience, kind of too much history in my opinion and much useless information. The audio tour didn’t work properly (at least mine). Finally, it was kind of disappointing to see that the p@ndemic and the war were the only recent “historical” events… like nothing else came across our way except that. I think us, as humans, are more than that… and we also need to talk about the good things - not only the negative aspects.

Fantastic experience inside the European Parliament with high expectations. Previously booked the free visit from the official website, the visit begins with an itinerary with an explanation of the history of the European Parliament. Loved it but I was expecting a visit inside the structure of the parliament and not just a tour with audio guides.

I didn't initially plan to visit Parlamentarium but I went inside as I was close-by. It's a very nicely designed interactive museum and completely free. Unfortunately didn't have enough of time to go through it all but I believe if you're interested in the history of EU this could be something for you. You have to make a booking but I did that within 2 minutes

EU Parliamentarium is really an amazing place. I wonder why this was not shown as must visit places in Brussels. We went there on the last day of our visit. It is a place where we can learn about the history of EU. So many old photographs. Good information regarding the member states. The entry is free, but need to do online reservation. My only regret is that we had only 45 minutes to spare within the building since we had a train to catch. I really recommend visiting this place, but keep aside approx 2 hours if you are really interested to know more.

Free entry and much information. Very extensive exhibition and interesting digital approach. Plan some time if you want to see and learn everything. We spend over two hours listening and reading. Staff was very nice and could help in English. Cafeteria was sadly closed. Not too many people there.

Amazing place! Free entrance and full of information about the EU. Interactive and 23 different languages to choose. Easy access and a must go if you are in Brussels.

Muy didáctico e imprescindible para comprender la dinámica del Parlamento Europeo y conocer su historia. Es gratuito

(Translated by Google) I, who am not usually a museum fan, was surprised by the Parlementarium. First of all, I had the chance to be alone in the museum throughout (off season + coronavirus). Here almost everything was super interesting for me and it allows you to better understand how the EU works and indirectly your sub. Everything is interactive there and a well done audio and video guide allows you to make the visit in your language. Free entry. Parking is free if you reserve it at least 24 hours in advance. Allow three good hours if you read everything, I personally did the museum in 2 hours not having read everything because the amount of information quickly becomes very busy. (Original) Moi qui ne suis d'habitude pas un fan de musée, j'ai été surpris par le Parlementarium. Tout d'abord j'ai eu la chance d'être seul dans le musée tout du long (hors saison + coronavirus). Ici presque tout était super intéressant pour moi et ça vous permet de mieux comprendre comment fonctionne l'UE et indirectement vos sousous. Tout est interactif là bas et un audio et visio guide bien fait vous permet de faire la visite dans votre langue. L'entrée est gratuite. Le parking est gratuit à condition de le réserver au moins 24h à l'avance. Comptez trois bonnes heures si vous lisez tout, j'ai personnellement fait le musée en 2h n'ayant pas tout lu car la quantité d'information devient vite très chargée.

(Translated by Google) Readings for the whole day. Very interesting place, I definitely recommend it (Original) Czytania na cały dzień .Bardzo ciekawe miejsce,zdecydowanie polecam

(Translated by Google) The home of all Europeans. Excellent (Original) La casa de todos los europeos. Excelente

Very interesting place to see and visit if you want to know everything about the EU ! Very modern and interactive too ! I recommend !

A very interactive and interesting (and free!) way to learn more about the EU. Has different audio guide devices for younger and middle aged children.

Disappointed. House of European history is much better. This one needs to be updated. I love European politics, but this doesn't make it interesting or fun.

It's located in a business center of the City. Very similar looking buildings which occupy 3 or 4 blocks entirely. It definitely needs to be seen and walked through to feel a mood of this place. It's a genuinely European place. Just take a cup of coffee and sit somewhere between Parliament buildings to see everything on your own.

So goood place to visit

Free, self-guided museum where get to learn everything you ever wanted of the European Union, from its creation to present. You get this lanyard with audioguide when you walk in and get to "tap" on the displays and exhibits for information. Lots of rooms, one with maps, interactive history, and active information including current issues the EU is facing. Entrance may take a while because it's airport security and people take forever to get through. I was there for about 1.5 hours in total. There's a gift shop at the end with lots of EU merchandise.

That was the most extensive history lesson, it’s a must-see for visitors of Brussels, you can have a free guide in any EU language and you could pretty much spend a whole day there and still leave with some points unchecked. It’s very interactive and even fun for children! Great job for all great people and all workers who maintain this place as it is!!!

Entrance was for free. It is very informative and interesting. I enjoyed it and learned many new things.

(Translated by Google) Super cool! Highly recommended! (Original) Super cool! Sehr Empfehlenswert!

Loved how the Parlamentarium is designer, also everything was very simple and informative at the same time. Lots of interactive experience, the best part was in my opinion the round room with a short, informative movie and interactive displays at the desk.

The visit to parliamentarium has been opened. This place has a wonderful history to the formation of the European union.

Very nice and interesting 🇪🇺👍🏻

(Translated by Google) A nice surprise that they were not included in our program. First asset: the visit is free. Little risk of being disappointed if it is not to have wasted time. And there was no disappointment. The parliamentarium has the heavy task of explaining playfully the construction of Europe and the role of the European Parliament. And he accomplishes these two missions brilliantly. The whole is modern, intuitive, interactive. I think we can stay three hours without having gone through all the information provided. Informative and fun. To do ! (Original) Une belle surprise qu'ils n'était pas prévue dans notre programme. Premier atout : la visite est gratuite. Peu de risque d'être déçu si ce n'est d'avoir perdu son temps. Et de déception il n'y a pas eu. Le parlementarium a la lourde tâche d'expliquer ludiquement la construction européenne et le rôle du Parlement européen. Et il s'acquitte de ces deux missions avec brio. L'ensemble est moderne, intuitif, interactif. Je pense que l'on peut rester trois heures sans pour autant avoir fait le tour de toutes les informations apportées. Instructif et ludique. À faire !

(Translated by Google) We were here in early August 2020 with our two children (3 and 5) and loved it. 1. Great visualizations 2. Everything is translated well into German 3. Very extensive. You could stay here for 4-5 hours without children if you have enough interest. You can actually find out about each individual member of parliament and their responsibilities and what they post. Really well done. 4. Not boring for children either 5. Free (Original) Wir waren hier Anfang August 2020 mit unseren beiden Kindern (3 und 5) und waren sehr begeistert. 1. Tolle Visualisierungen 2.
