This huge building (with 220.000 sq. meters, 800 seats and 1.133 offices), otherwise completed in year 1999, is the official seat of European Parliament, which activities are currently splitted between three different buildings, located in three different states (France, Belgium and Luxembourgh). Although the official seat of parliament is here, the building itself is most of the time empty, as the parliament sessions here will take place only one week per month - all other activities wil mainly happen in EU Parliament in Brussels and (there is a Chamber of Deputies with 60 members) in EU building in Luxembourgh. Such practice, with huge empty and unused building, unfortunately means a lot of wasted opportunities (and money), as the empty building time can be, at least on certain level, used in a more appropriate way (e.g. at least as place for events held by charities or other similiar events which are beneficial for broad society). Otherwise, the building is very nice, interesting and modern, with all the neccessary facilities and access for people with disabilities - you can plan a (guided) visit to there, but better check out for the conditions first (on Parliament website for the start). The Parliament building is otherwise located in a nice area, a bit outside of the city center, and is easily accessible from the city center (and from others spots) with frequent public transport options. For those who will travel there with car, a free parking places can be found around the building.
