General information Visitors are welcome to tour the Sejm. Our basic offer is addressed to the organized groups. Depending on the type of the group and visit limitations caused by the work of the Sejm, the employees of the Correspondence and Information Office of the Sejm Chancellery present a brief lecture on the history and the present status of the Polish parliamentarism in the lecture room. The lecture may be combined with a tour through selected Sejm buildings. On the days when there is no sitting of the Sejm, the visitors can see: the gallery of the Assembly Room of the Sejm, the Main Hall (a model of the complex of the Sejm buildings, the plaque commemorating the Deputies of the Second Republic of Poland who were the victims of World War II, the plaque commemorating the Deputies and Senators who died in the plane crash near Smoleńsk, a showcase with Marshal's maces), the Column Room, the Marshal's Corridor and the Assembly Room of the Senate (if there is no sitting of the Senate).
On the sitting days of the Sejm, apart from the lecture, the visit is limited to: watching the debate from the gallery of the Assembly Room and passing on to the plaque commemorating the Deputies of the Second Republic of Poland who were the victims of World War II. Additionally the visitors can explore the exhibition presented in the lecture room. Visit limitations There may be some limitations of the tour through the Sejm buildings caused by official state visits or other events related to the work of the Sejm and its bodies. We reserve the right to cancel a previously booked visit because of the change of the Sejm sitting schedule or the mode of the Sejm works, e.g. resolving on an in camera sitting. The lecture and the tour take from 30 to 60 minutes. Depending on the needs related to the work of the Sejm, the time of the tour and its scope may vary.
