Super-historic as well as super-modern. Get there early to get to the top of the cupola and allow p.l.e.n.t.y of time to go through security. The mirrors are a great touch, mad but interesting. Wonderful!

This beautiful historic bridge shows both the ravages of time and its resilience to the trials of Berlin over the last century. Today, its steel mid-section tells the tale of of intentional bombing to cut off the crossing but that cannot detract from the majesty of the bridge. You can cross by car or by u-bahn as there are two levels.

Out to the east of Berlin, since this was an old crossing from west to east, use u-bahn warschauer strasse or schlesisches tor if you want to go across
