- Spans the Spree, about 10 minutes' walk east of the East Side Gallery
A double-decker bridge between two red-brick towers: cars and pedestrians below, the yellow U1 train rattling across the viaduct above. It used to be the border between East and West, and for a while a walkers-only crossing for West Berliners. From the middle you can see the East Side Gallery and the glass office blocks one way and Kreuzberg's bar streets the other. At sunset, with a train sliding across the arches, it is worth timing a visit.
