The infamous wall that split the city is now a tourist attraction. And gone is the barbed wire from Brandenburg Gate. Now visitors can walk freely from side to side. A city of cranes and construction, the new Berlin is a work in progress. The hot ticket in town is the new seat of government.
Lines are long just to walk through the chrome dome.
You wouldn't know it now, but Potsdammer Platz, with its IMAX theater and bustling mall was once the great communist East Berlin. These days you're more likely to see an explosion of color here at the new Sony Entertainment Center, called the Music Box. Billed as the first virtual family fun ride. It's the 60's with a techno twist. While the message is love, the horrors of war have left their scars to be sure.
