In a city full of wondrous places, this is among its best attractions. While it's lovely just about any time of year it's incredibly special in the fall.
This is a Milunic-Gehry design in the middle of neighborhood that is all Baroque or Art Noveau. They built the Dancing House to stand out and get attention. I think it worked.
City square - but see the Glockenspiel! It's an enormous cuckoo-clock. Goes off at 11am (and noon and 5pm in summer). 15 minute show of life size figures and bells.
Look for a double row of square stones running throughout Berlin. These stones mark where the Berlin Wall stood until its demise in 1989. Along the path are crosses and photos memorializing those killed while trying to cross the wall.
This is definitely on my list for my next trip to Seattle. Apparently they have a lot of demonstrations & mini-events with the farmers. Good excuse to find a hotel with your own kitchen!!
I loved this museum. It is full of incredible art & inspiring quotes from Van Gogh throughout the building... Pretty sure I still have them in a notebook somewhere. If you go, get there early and you'll be glad once you see the line of people waiting to get in. One of my favorite museums ever.
