Today we took the metro into town to see the Brandenburg Gate as you can see in the picture. After this we had a walk around the area before going on a tour of the Reichstag Parliament Building. At the top of the building there is a giant glass dome with a walk way that spirals up around the perimeter inside the dome. Which makes for great views of the city. Building is typical of Germany with everything being Eco friendly. A tower in the middle of the dome consists of panels of mirrors which reflect the light down into the main parliament building so minimal electricity is needed. After viewing the city we walked through tear garden, a main park area in the middle of the city to get a drink and people watch. On the way we stumbled on a large holocaust memorial which consisted of different size blocks to pay respect to the tragedy.
