Brussels (Belgium) is considered to be the de facto capital of the European Union, having a long history of hosting the institutions of the European Union. However the EU has no official capital with no plans to declare one. The city hosts the official seats of the European Commission, Council of the European Union, European Council and a second seat of the European Parliament.Most of the institutions are located within the European Union (EU) quarter, or district, of Brussels, which is the unofficial name of the area corresponding to the approximate triangle between Brussels Park, Cinquantenaire Park and Leopold Park (with the Parliament's hemicycle extending into the latter). The Commission and Council are located in the heart of this area near to the Schuman station at the Schuman roundabout on the Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat. The European Parliament is located over the Brussels-Luxembourg station, next to Luxembourg Square.
