Travelog post for: Shakespeare

Once again I did a walk through the city. It was colder than yesterday, but the sun was shining.

This beautiful building is called Berlin Cathedral. It is the colloquial name for the Evangelical (i.e. Protestant) Supreme Parish and Collegiate Church. Its present building is located on Museum Island.
The Berlin Cathedral has never been a cathedral in the actual sense of that term since it has never been the seat of a bishop.


Museum Island is the name of the northern half of an island in the Spree river in the central Mitte district. It is so called for the complex of five internationally significant museums, all part of the Berlin State Museums.


The Bode Museum at the northern end of the Museum Island.
Look, there's more ice on the water than yesterday!


I also saw the Brandenburg Gate. It is one of the most well-known landmarks of Berlin and Germany.


I think I'm going to stay in this hotel tonight. It is the Hotel Adlon, a luxury hotel. It is located on the Pariser Platz directly opposite the Brandenburg Gate.
The current hotel opened on August 23, 1997. The legendary original Hotel Adlon was one of the most famous hotels in Europe. It opened in 1907 and was largely destroyed in 1945 in the closing days of World War II, though a small wing continued operating until 1984.
