We chose to do a Historical Walking Tour of Berlin today. This was an opportunity to explore the fascinating history of this city. Our walking tour with a local guide including infamous Third Reich sites such as the site of Hilter's bunker and the former Propoganda Ministry of the Goebbels.
During our free time we visited Brandenburg Gate, which was a gate to nowhere as it was in the "no man's land" zone between East and West Berlin.
We also visited Reichstag, home to the German Parliament. The Reichstag has been the sight of many important historical events; rallies by Hitler, a concert by Pink Floyd, and the declaration of a unified Germany. We were able to climb the huge glass dome to get a close-up of the mirrors that angle natural light into the building.
This is the Hotel Adlon, outside the Brandenburg Gate. This is important because this is where Michael Jackson dangled his baby over the balcony. :)
