The Parliament of Austria

Take a behind-the-scenes look at parliamentary activities and interact with the Presidents of the National Council and the Federal Council as well as the MPs.

A 60-minute exploratory tour will take you through the Building - from the Chambers of the National and Federal Councils to the "Plenarium" under the newly erected glass dome.

As a special highlight, you can visit the otherwise inaccessible committee rooms.

At the end of the tour we will bid you farewell on the ramp of the Parliament with a unique view over the Ringstraße.

Due to the expected crowds, we ask you to register in advance online for a time slot. By doing so, you will help us reduce waiting times.

The Austrian Parliament is a place of lived democracy. Come on over and see for yourself!

Partake in one of our guided tours of the Building for groups or individuals. Browse the Library and have a cup of traditional Viennese coffee in the adjacent cafe. Or enjoy the culinary wonders in the new rooftop restaurant overlooking downtown.

In this section, you can learn about the representatives in the Austrian Parliament, explore the legislative process and learn about Austria's political system.

We offer a wide range of possibilities for children and young people to learn about, explore, and participate in parliamentary processes: workshops for elementary schools, high schools, vocational training schools, the apprentices' forum, youth parliament, and more.

Welcome, members of the press and media!
