The Sky of the EU--Strasbourg, the Second Capital of the EU

On July 15th, the twenty-seventh day of the European tour, the weather was clear with a maximum temperature of 31 degrees. The charm of Strasbourg is not limited to its medieval castles. As the headquarters of the European Parliament, this city has become the heart of EU decision-making. The European Parliament building, with its modern architectural design and environmental concepts, has become a symbol of the era. Having the opportunity to visit and experience the atmosphere of EU decision-making allows one to understand the nuances of the European integration process. The European Parliament building is located roughly in the northeast direction of Strasbourg, accessible by bus and tram. It is adjacent to the European Court of Human Rights and is a modern glass curtain wall building. Passing by several times, it feels relatively empty. Strasbourg itself was the seat of the parliament during the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Community periods, the predecessors of the EU. This city has a diverse culture and symbolizes the reconciliation between France and Germany. Therefore, when the EU was officially established in 1992, the headquarters of the European Parliament was designated in this French city, and this decision was written into the EU treaty as a clause.
