Alexanderplatz

heart of berlin
necessarly going there

I came here mainly to look at and go up the TV tower (Fernsehturm). The area is currently in the throes of being redeveloped – it will be interesting to come back in a few years time and see it transformed from its current austere look to something much more modern. But I do hope that the TV tower will still be there. It reminds me of the Space Needle in Seattle – built with a futuristic look, and still distinctive many years later.

It’s also a major transport hub, with many S and U-Bahn lines interchanging here.

Stayed here a couple days at the Park Inn… Huge hotel
