On 4 September 2026 at 2.30 p.m. the Court will open its doors to the general public* to visit the Human Rights Building, its seat in Strasbourg, as part of the A Court Open to All initiative, which will offer members of the public the opportunity to discover the Human Rights Building in the afternoon of the first Friday of each month. The project aims to make the Court more accessible to the people it serves.

During this guided tour, which will be available in either English or French and will last approximately one hour, visitors will discover the main public areas of the Human Rights Building and learn more about the Court’s history, functioning and role in protecting human rights across Europe. They will also learn about the building itself, through exhibitions and presentations.

Online registration for the guided tour on 2 October 2026 will open on 7 September 2026.
