Berlin Brandenburg Gate

From the top of the Westin Grand Hotel the earthTV camera shows the German capital Berlin. As the camera pans out, the viewer sees all the symbols of Berlin: the famous Television Tower 'Alex', the German chancellors residence, and the Reichstag, a wonderful and intriguing mix of old and new, of national and international pride: the spirit and essence of Berlin's history in a glass dome.

Geographic Information

Germany stretches from the high mountains of the Alps in the south to the shores of the North and Baltic Seas in the north. In between are found the forested uplands of central Germany and the low-lying lands of northern Germany, traversed by some of Europe's major rivers such as the Rhine, Danube and Elbe. Germany is bordered by nine countries: Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands.
