This is the Berlin Cathedral, which is absolutely massive. We took a self-guided tour and ended up climbing 500 steps to walk around the outside of the main dome of the Cathedral. It was the ultimate panoramic view of Berlin, and completely worth the climb!
We also went to see Sachsenhausen, a concentration camp that was used in WWII and later as a camp for political prisoners. Many parts of the camp have been turned into museum style exhibits, and the sheer size of the place is stunning. It was tough to see, but I think most of our group would say that they're glad to have seen it.
This memorial was built at the camp in the 1960's.
Myself and my friend Lindsey at the graffiti wall. Thursday afternoon, our last day in the city, we had a great time exploring and goofing around.
After accidentally taking the S-bahn (subway/rail system) in the wrong direction, we ended up at Alexanderplatz. There's a huge open air market, with clothes and food vendors, and even a mini petting zoo with goats! We ended up having dinner in a beirgarten, which was a great way to have one last real German meal!
