You can’t visit Berlin without spotting the adorable little crossing sign that is the Amplemann.
His jaunty walk and stylish little hat beam out from every pedestrian crossing light! He even has his own merch!!!
Berlin is a mix of old and new, brash and weathered.
No where can you see this better than the juxtaposition of the Fernsehturm TV tower and St Mary’s Church at Alexanderplatz.
The TV tower is 368m tall and opened in 1969.
It has a viewing gallery at 203m and revolving restaurant at 207m.
The Marienkirche (St. Mary’s Church) is one of the oldest churches in Berlin.
It is believed to date from the 13th century.
But much of the building now dates to the late 19th century and post war period.
