A walk in Berlin 2

Like I said before I was in Berlin for a few weeks. On a windy Saturday I went shopping to the Designer Outlet Berlin, I like to shop in outlets because everything is cheaper. After a few hours of shopping I got on a train to the Berlin Central Station. This station is huge, has more levels and a lot of trains pass there every day. I took a few pictures of the station from outside:

From the exit of the central station you can see the Reichstag building:

It was a short walk to the parliament which is one of the symbols of Berlin and a must see for every tourist. The glass dome on top of the building is very impressive to. A few pics of the parliament:

After taking a few photos I headed to the Brandenburg Gate (which is very close):

This gate is a huge tourist attraction, I even saw Darth Vader there:

Solar powered bike rentals in Berlin

I saw in Berlin bike rentals powered by the sun. I searched on the web and I found their website. These are really cool things I hope someday they will be available in all the cities. Here are a few pics:

A walk in Berlin

I was in Berlin for a few weeks and I took my camera too. I made a few pictures on a Sunday afternoon on a short walk in the city. The main sight I saw was the Alexanderplatz, the Berlin Cathedral, the O2 World and a part of the Wall. The best pics from this tour:
