Europe Day: visit Parliament during our open days
Visit the European Parliament in Strasbourg, Brussels and Luxembourg as part of events to celebrate Europe Day.
Europe Day
Europe Day is held every 9 May to mark the anniversary of the speech by French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman that led to the foundation of the European Union.
Just like every year, Parliament and other EU institutions will celebrate it by organising events for visitors on their premises.
This year the open days will be even more special. With the European elections taking place just one month later, on 6-9 June, they will be the perfect occasion to be reminded why it’s important to use your vote.
Explore how EU legislation affects your life and find out how you can influence common future decisions. Meet the European political groups and discover everything about the upcoming European elections.
