Great visit but why no cafe? Apparently there are 4 cafes on site but none of them open on a Saturday. You can't even get a cup of coffee or tea. Other than that the visit was good. Just make sure you aren't hungry or thirsty when you go.

The building is a little tired and there were repairs going on. However it is an important building to visit and impressive in many ways The story of the European project is well explained. UK’s withdrawal is not mentioned but for British visitors such as myself there is a poignant feeling of regret throughout the visit. Be sure to bring your passport for ID

Taking both bicycles and the tram, we visited the European Parliament hemicycle/Agora, Winston Churchill (Council and Court) of the European Union. Taking rue Simone Veil from the border of Strasbourg-Neustadt to the round iconic European Parliament towers (Louise Weiss) was not difficult. There were ‘E’ trams to Wacken or several buses at more nearby stops, where you’ll pay outside before boarding for the ride. Whether on two wheels or more, enjoy the lovely suburbs and park-like view outside the historic Centre. Strasbourg is more than just the island of the River L’ill and ramparts. Just past the international Congress is the Rhine and 8 European countries—located within 500 kilometres of Strasbourg. We didn’t have to register online pre-arrival like at Brussels’ European Parliament, but we did bring our passports for quicker verification. The bronze bust and exhibit of Simone Veil was in Strasbourg, strangely, and not in Brussels. However, seeing the plenary was interesting, unlike at Brussels. From the heights of the Parliament building, only in Strasbourg, you’ll see the view from the Rhine to the Vosges and Black Forest!
