Visit Berlin virtually

[Skybird]

On this page you find many 360° panoramic HR-photos. You can increase the pictures to full screen, and rotate them via mouse in any direction. choose a category on the left, and the pics from the bar at the bottom - note most categories have several pages in that picture bar at the bottom.

And a virtual tour through the Berliner Philharmonie. The principle is comparable.

The building does not only look cool inside, but also has sensational, truly exceptionell accoustics.

P.S. and a second site with Berlin panoramas:

and while we're at it, here are panoramas from the town I liike more than any other, Lübeck:

Famous with American tourists - Heidelberg, very romatic places in the old town:

and there are more cities, to be found on the map that shows up on the right on every last page of a town's picture set.

I had heard that Berlin was rather sterile, government/bearucratic style and all. I was hoping to get a different impression but the links aren't working for me. Perhaps its my connection. I will try again later and hope to see some great views. Thank you.

All links work for me, though.

Thanks Skybird but, I would rather visit Berlin in RL

[Happy Times]

Nice, i visited both briefly as planned before.
In Berlin we took your advice and mostly just walked around.
We did take a short tourbus ride first to get our bearings tough.
Some observations.
Germany doesnt work, look or feel very foreign to Skandinavians.
It would be very easy to move there, without a culture shock.
For some tourists it can make it boring maybe.

You can easily travel with your own car. Even Berlins traffic in the rush hours works like it should.

The people are very nice and eager to help.
Some tought we were Germans, but the service was just as good when we turned out to be tourists.
Berliners seem to have a dry sense of humor that works for me also.

The architecture of Berlin suprised me.
Honestly the modern Mitte is ugly as hell. It should be rebombed..
The old parts that survive are beutiful.
The surrounding apartment areas looked the same as older parts of Helsinki and Tampere in Finland. Im ready to bet the architects studied in Berlin..

There is a serious graffiti problem in Berlin. I know there were big May day riots but im sure many were older than few days.
I would recommend heavy penalties for these terrorists.

Lübeck is beautiful, im planning to go back in the end of summer. A true summer destination that i can recommend to everyone.

It was a nice trip but too short, so im going to have return as soon as possible.
