© NEW IN THE CITY
If you plan to take a long or short trip outside Berlin and don’t want to be behind the wheel of a car, then head for the city’s central train station, one of Europe’s biggest and most modern rail hubs. Every day, 300,000 travelers stream into the relatively new station, located where the Lehrter station stood until 2006. Every 90 seconds, they board trains heading in all directions.
The station is impressive because of its large capacity and also for its looks.
The station was designed by Meinhard von Gerkan and is spacious and flooded with light. A 321-m glass hall runs from east to west and is crossed in a north-south direction by the station concourse, which is 160 m long and 40 m wide.
