What makes it 82% Couple-Friendly: Couples can share the interactive tour, debate votes on screens and pose for Hemicycle photos, yet limited food options and a formal museum mood reduce the overall romantic atmosphere.

Tip: Pick up a handheld guide on arrival or download the EP Visit app before you go.
Hemicycle visit:
Walk through the European Parliament chamber with a multimedia guide.
Tip: Reserve your free slot online or at the desk to ensure access in your preferred language.
Interactive role-play exhibits:
Debate policy issues on touchscreens and compare your votes with real MEPs.
Tip: Try contrasting viewpoints and discuss results together for a fun couple activity.
Photo stops:
Capture moments beside large interactive maps and in the Hemicycle gallery.
Tip: Look for floor markings showing where MEPs sit for a unique shot.

Open year-round and climate-controlled. In summer, start early to enjoy cooler indoor air before nearby outdoor tours. In winter, combine with the Christmas markets a short walk away.
