Berlin -Europe's "Hot" City goes 3-D on Google Earth
"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall!" The course of the infamous wall can now be seen along with more than 44,000 buildings in the western and eastern parts of the Berlin in 3D on Google Earth. Otherwise visitors can cast forward to the present and take a tour of the new Central Station or zip into the Reichstag, home of parliament, or take a stroll inside Frank Gehry's famous DZ Bank on the Pariser Platz.
Berlin is the first city in the world to present itself in 3D. The German capital commissioned a 3D model from '3D Geo', and then provided the model to Google free of charge. Leave your passport in the desk and zip over and see Europe's trendiest city on your Mac or PC.
You will need the newest version of Google Earth. Note that access is likely to be slow over the next few days simply due to server overload, but give it a shot.
