Alexanderplatz The one place in Berlin you never can miss because of the TV-tower with its characteristic glass globe on top. It's a restaurant and you can see it from miles away. The northern part of the place is a pretty ugly affair with lots of concrete and hardly a tree in sight. South of the TV-tower it's quite ok. There's a little park and the Neptune-fountain. The World Time Clock, a continually rotating installation that shows the time throughout the globe, used to be - and sometimes still is - a favourite meeting point for East-Berlin's lovers. Alexanderplatz has the biggest underground railway station of Berlin and is served by three underground lines. Some buildings will be redesigned and new structures are being built on the square's south-eastern side. The Alexa shopping mall, with approximately 180 stores opened in 2007 and a large Saturn electronic store is currently being built to open in 2008. Next to the place there is the "Rotes Rathaus" (Red City Hall), the traditional seat of East Berlin's parliament. Historic details about Alexanderplatz: Wikipedia
