Reichstag Building

The parliament building and the heart of German democracy. Sadly I could not get in as my guide book was published just over a year ago and in that time some lunatic tried to bring in a gun or something, so now you have to book a reservation three days in advance. But check out the glass cupola on top - if you look closely you can see the two sloped ramps spiraling up for the grand view down into the legislative chamber down below...so that the German people can keep a close eye on their government from now on. At least I got a kick out of that.
