“So interesting”

TripAdvisor ratingReviewed 3d ago by Iain M

Certainly a must do, regardless of your political view. Undercover parking and entrance is free. It's fully wheelchair accessible, and ther're plenty of staff around. There's also a decent sized cafe...

“Well worth the visit”

TripAdvisor ratingReviewed 1mo ago by BeijingEye

Although Parliament was not sitting, well worth a visit. Security staff were very friendly and made suggestions so as not to miss anything. Highlight is the roof top visit.
