Reichstag Dome and Jewish Museum

,we took the bus to Potsdamer Platz and walked to the Reichstag. Went through security and then waited a while to be let in! Taken to rooftop in the lift. We walked round the exhibition set out there and then started the ascent of the dome. There is a pathway that winds round the inside edge of the dome, and the views over Berlin are spectacular. At the top, there is another viewing platform. Returning to ground level, we made our way down the Unter den Linden and found a coffee stop. I had hot chocolate with rum and cream, with an appfel strudel. Valerie had coffee and tiramisu.
Off to the underground next to find the Jewish Museum. Deep in East Berlin, we found it. Spent some time there once the queuing, security, and panto about the audio guide were negotiated. It is a place to attempt over several visits. It chronicles the history of the German Jewish people from very early times. We decided at about 5pm to stop at 18th century, when we were too overloaded with information.
Back to Unter den Linden for a meal in a German restaurant.
We walked (read staggered) to the Dom to see it lit up as part of Festival of Lights, took in the Light show on the Brandenburg Gate again, and then flagged down a taxi to bring us back to the hotel. Another busy, interesting day.
Last day tomorrow.もっと詳しく
