Well worth a visit if you have time in Strasbourg. It's free to enter(don't forget your ID) and you have time to walk around and explore the building as well as learn about the EU's history. You also can get a free audio guide and there're some interactive sections. The surrounding area is also very nice and worth exploring, especially the Park of Oranges.

A very memorable place to visit. A nice centre hall and the entire parliament building is very awesome. A valid ID proof is strictly needed to enter with a security check as in airports for the visitors. A lovely calm surroundings and nice sit-outs behind the river walk mentioned with european countries name.

Definitely worth visiting, the entry is free and also a free audio guide available when visiting the plenary hall. You need to have your passport with you, driving license is not accepted.

Great place to visit if you are in any way interested in politics or the European Union. The day we went (mid September) it was not busy and didn’t have to wait anywhere. Don’t forget to bring your passport since there is a hefty security check. Entry is free and you don’t have to book in advance.
