Advantages: Interesting and brand new Disadvantages: or is it really very old???
The PotsdamerPlatz is a brand new, vibrant area that was built during the 1990s in the former east Berlin. The area is a now key to Berlin in terms of business with many major German companies having their headquarters here, including Deutsche Bahn and Sony, as well as having becoming a must-see for visitors to Berlin.
What is it?
The PotsdamerPlatz centres around a central area that is 20+ stories high with a covered roof that is open at the sides so that one has the experience of being in the open air, yet without the dangers of inclement weather! As well as the main 'dom', there's a range of restaurants, visitors' attractions, and the Potsdamer arcade, which features over 100 hundred shops in the immediate area.
In the arcade you will find a wide range of shops including clothing for men, women and children as well as ...

Advantages: Germany's capital and most interesting city Disadvantages: a bit too large, distances too long
's throw to the PotsdamerPlatz, waste land once and now a magnet for visitors from all over the world, they don't only come to shop or do business but also to look at the buildings from an architectural point of view the most famous being the Sony Centre with a roof that reminds of the peak of the Fujiyama.
Back to the Brandenburger Tor, the area east of it was also waste land until ten years ago when the Grand Hotel Adlon (five stars +) was reopened and other buildings, many embassies among them, were built on the street Unter den Linden (Under the Linden) which starts here.

We could get on Bus 100 again and go straight along Unter den Linden up to the final destination Alexanderplatz, but I'd like to invite you to make a detour ...
Advantages: Everything good about reunified Berlin Disadvantages: Some areas under construction
PotsdamerPlatz was Germany's equivalent of Times Square or Piccadily Circus until WW2. The area was heavily bombed and any buildings that survived were demolished by the Berlin Wall which ran straight through the middle of PotsdamerPlatz.
PotsdamerPlatz was at its height in the 1920's were more than 100,000 people came through it every day. It was so busy that Europe's first traffic light was installed here to control the flow of cars in 1924. The newly revived PotsdamerPlatz has almost reached the same flow of people and traffic.
Most of the cranes are now gone and they have left two new complexes. The Sony Centre and Daimler City.Opened in 2000 and 1998 respectively. The Sony Centre contains a huge 3D IMAX cinema, a Sony store (of course) and the Berlin Film Museum. Daimler City also has an IMAX cinema as well as a huge ...
