From the dome of Berlin Cathedral, you see a different city

September ushers in autumn, wandering around Berlin, strolling through the streets. Only by taking the road less traveled can you discover a different landscape. ❤️Recommended reason: Adjacent to Museum Island, Berlin Cathedral is a place I've often passed by but never thought to climb its dome. Taking advantage of the crisp autumn weather, I spent 10 euros on a ticket, initially intending to isolate myself from the worldly noise inside. To my surprise, I found that you can actually climb to the dome. With decent stamina, it took ten minutes to reach the top. Indeed, those 10 euros were well spent. The entire city seemed to be under its gaze. 🌟Highlights: This Renaissance-style building, constructed by Emperor Wilhelm II in 1894, reaches a height of 114 meters. The dome, designed by Julius Raschdorff, gives the already tall church a visually rounded appearance. The exterior of the building is modeled after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome but also has its own distinctive features. The cathedral's vault is not a simple imitation of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome; its interior is bright and spacious, in stark contrast to the traditional dark and solemn church designs. ✅Must Experience: The church ticket includes the cost of climbing to the top. Be sure to allow enough time to go up, and don't be afraid of the effort it takes to climb. Once you're up, you'll feel that everything is worth it. Of course, the weather is also very important. Walk around the tower on the outer edge of the dome, going up and down without retracing your steps. You can overlook all the museums on Museum Island, the Zeughaus (now the German Historical Museum), the Humboldt Forum, and even the Berlin TV Tower in the distance, among many others. Take videos, take photos, take selfies, take in the scenery, everything at will.
