We visited the cupola located on top of the Reichstag Building. It was an wonderful 360 degree look at Berlin. As you make your way to the top of the cupola you get a decent history of Berlin and surrounding architecture, thanks to the headsets we were given on our way in. The views were pretty amazing, inside and out. It is an easy stroll to the top, even with strollers.
This ginormous set of mirrors in the middle of the dome reflects light into the chambers located below. The first photo is from the base looking up and the second one is looking down from the top.
In the first photo you can see rows of stone rectangles with the Reichstag building in the distance. We noticed this on our stroll in the dome. It is a Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. It is rows and rows of stone, all of varied sizes but lined up in straight rows. This is just past the Brandenburg Gate and certainly worthy of a stop.
The last photo for today is of the Ampelmann, the cutest crosswalk dude ever.
