    Berlin’s historic Brandenburg Gate by night - as viewed from its eastern side.
  • PHOTO 7 Die Straße des 17. Juni | The Avenue of the 17th of June, as seen from the top of the Victory Column (die Siegessäule). The avenue’s name commemorates a workers' uprising that took place in the German Democratic Republic in 1953. In the distance: the Brandenburg Gate and the TV tower.
  • PHOTO 8 Reichstag Dome at Night | Designed by British architect Sir Norman Foster, the Reichstag’s new transparent dome is open to the public until midnight (last entry at 11:00 pm).
  • PHOTO 9 Reichstag Dome by Day | Sir Norman Foster’s Kuppel (dome) atop the Reichstag parliament building has become one of Berlin’s top tourist attractions.
  • PHOTO 10 Sunday in Berlin | This fountain on the Breitscheidplatz is a focal point for the area around the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche (Memorial Church) just off of Berlin’s famous Kurfürstendamm.
  • PHOTO 11 Dual Images - Reichstag | The reflection of the German flag in the glass of Sir Norman Foster’s Reichstag dome, while inside we see visitors enjoying the dome experience.
  • PHOTO 12 Galeries Lafayette | The sparkling glass interior of the Galeries Lafayette department store. The Galeries Lafayette store at the intersection of Friedrichstraße and Französische Straße opened in 1996.
  • PHOTO 13 A Closer Look | Although covered with glass, the Reichstag dome is open to the air with a louvered overhang. The top of the dome is also open to the elements. Sir Norman Foster’s design is intended to convey an open government.
