Visit European Council in Brussels for free – starting from September

The European Council and the Council of the EU invite all willing to discover the buildings in Brussels where EU leaders meet. Join the free visits and guided tours, and learn how the European Council and the Council of the EU shape Europe’s future.

There are many ways to visit the Council:

• explore the visitors’ centre and the public areas of the Council on your own;
• request a tailor-made information session with a Council official for groups of 20 or more participants;
• join a guided tour of the Council’s buildings on Fridays.

All the visits to the Council are subject to prior booking.

All groups must book their visit online. The booking request must be made at least 20 working days in advance of your visit. There are no group visits during the month of August.

Groups can request an exclusive information session, available in any of the 24 official languages of the EU for everyone over the age of 15, where a Council expert will share their knowledge, as well as their experience of what it’s like to work in the Council, the ‘house of the member states’.

Every Friday morning at 08:00, you can join a guided tour of the Council’s buildings, led by a Council staff member.

On a guided tour you get a chance to see the inner workings of the Council and learn more about the architecture of the Justus Lipsius and Europa buildings. The tour includes a visit to the architecturally acclaimed lantern-shaped space in the Europa building.

The tour is suitable for everyone over the age of 15 and free of charge. Guided tours last about one hour and are offered in French and English.
