Democracy up for grabs: tactile tours of the Austrian Parliament

As of June 2025, the Austrian Parliament expanded its inclusive offerings to include tactile tours. This tour format is aimed at blind and visually impaired visitors.

Tactile reliefs, tactile plans, and an architectural model of the Parliament building provide barrier-free access to the history, architecture, and symbolism of Parliament and the development of parliamentarism—making democracy tangible in the truest sense of the word.

Group tours
Groups of up to 10 people (excluding accompanying persons) can request a free tactile tour by email or telephone.
