Introduction

The European Union's three main institutions, including the European Parliament, the European Council, and the European Commission, are the decision-making, management, and supervisory bodies of the EU. The European Parliament is the only institution directly elected by citizens. Members of Parliament meet regularly in Brussels, where the headquarters of the European Council and the European Commission are also located. The European Parliament Visitors' Centre offers guided tours, allowing visitors to learn about the work of the Members of Parliament and the functioning of the Parliament through various multimedia displays. Visitors can experience the serious and tense atmosphere and even have the opportunity to meet familiar faces often seen on television, experiencing a different mode of meeting operation.
