How to book a visit to the European Central Bank

Please use our dedicated portal to request a tour of our Visitor Centre or book an on-site or virtual lecture.

Submitting a request

To place a request, please indicate the number of visitors, your desired type of activity and preferred language. Available options will then appear in the calendar.

If your chosen activity is not available, you may select a similar existing one.

After submitting your request, the Visitor Centre team will review it and respond accordingly. Please note that a request alone does not confirm your visit.

Important details

Group size

Our lectures are offered to groups of 15-80 people. If you are fewer than 15 people, you may ask to join another group.

Language

You can indicate your preferred EU language in calendar entries without a predefined language. If your preferred language is not available on your chosen date, the activity will be held in English.

Topic (only for lectures)

You can either register for a calendar entry with a predefined topic or indicate your preferred topic in calendar entries without a predefined topic. The Visitor Centre team will assess your request and inform you accordingly.

Requester

We do not accept requests from third parties (i.e. companies/organisations/institutions requesting on behalf of interested groups). Groups must submit requests directly via our portal.

Multiple requests

Due to high demand, we can only accept one visit request from each organisation/company/institution, or respective department, per calendar year.

Booking deadlines

Visitor Centre tours: please place your request at least one week in advance.

Lectures: please place your request at least three weeks in advance.

After you receive the confirmation for your visit, please provide the required participant details no later than three days before your visit.
