Experience the operation of EU politics and everything about the EU up close, with free visits to the EU Parliament building

The EU Parliament is located in Strasbourg, so this is also the second capital of the EU. After lunch, Anna took us to visit the Parliament building. Regardless of nationality, security will let you pass after checking your passport, no need to buy a ticket. Upon entering the building, there is another security check, similar to airport security, all electronic devices, bags, coats, belts must be put into a tray for scanning. The building is mainly composed of steel structures and glass, it is a huge circular building, looking up, it is quite like the Hakka earth buildings in Fujian. There is a designated travel route for tourists, the front desk provides each visitor with a video explainer with headphones, with 24 languages used by EU member states to choose from. The semicircular venue is in session, we sat down to listen, at first we thought it was a real EU meeting, but then we found that both the host and the members are very young, it turns out that it is a simulation meeting held by university students from various countries within the EU, the topic is about energy prices, the screen shows approval, opposition and undecided, each participant has a voting device in front of them, green represents approval, red represents opposition, for these students, the future masters of the EU, this kind of drill is a good learning and exercise. The last stop on the tour is a 360-degree surround screen cinema, an 8-minute film, 360-degree digital display allows visitors to immerse themselves in all aspects of the EU, such as geography, history, humanities, the necessity of establishing the EU, the operation of the European Parliament. After the visit, we ordered three drinks and a caramel pudding in the dining area, the price is over 5 euros in total, reasonable and affordable, a very interesting experience, worth a visit.
