Commissioned by Chancellor Angela Merkel and opened in 2006, Berlin Hauptbahnhof stands as a symbol of a reunited Germany, built atop the former East German station. This five-story structure of glass and steel is one of the most well-connected train stations in the country, serving up to 350,000 passengers daily. Visitors can experience the bustling atmosphere and modern design, with its transparent facade offering views of the trains and the city beyond. The station’s central location makes it a key hub for both local and international travel.
