Bike Tour of Berlin

Part of Museum Island (Berlin's original settlement place)
Protestant Church

Hitler's Bunker was underneath this parking lot
This is where he committed suicide in 1945.
The bunker is located 15 meters underground 
and the walls are 4 meters thick.
The buildings surrounding the area was the place to live 
if you were in the part of the Nazi regime.

Hard to see, but this is Humboldt University.  
It is the most prestigious university in all of Germany.  
29 nobel prize winners have attended the univeristy, 
as well as plenty of other names you have heard of,
including Albert Einstein and the Grimm Brothers.

Brandenburg Gate - symbol of unification
The square in the front is known as Pariser Platz and 
on either side of the gate are embassy offices of the United States and France.

Shady place where our bikes were stored
