Guided Story
Imagine stepping back into the 1960s. Above you, the Berlin TV Tower stands tall, a proud emblem of East Germany. Did you know its sphere was designed to evoke the Soviet Sputnik satellite? Look up at the sphere – it's covered in mirrors that create a dazzling light show when the sun hits it just right. Behind you is St. Mary's Church, one of the oldest in Berlin. Below, Alexanderplatz buzzes with energy. Up here, you can almost hear the city's stories unfolding beneath you.
