Germany Zeughaus Berlin
Just a few meters from the Dom you'll find the Zeughaus, at night you get a great reflection when the Spree is not flowing like wild.

Photography Tips
The Zeughaus in Berlin, now home to the German Historical Museum, is the oldest preserved building on Unter den Linden. Its Baroque façade, adorned with intricate sculptures, makes it a great subject for photography. Capture it head-on to emphasize its symmetry or from an angle to include the vibrant city surroundings. A wide-angle lens helps frame the entire structure, while shooting during golden hour enhances the warm tones of the sandstone. Reflections in nearby puddles or glass surfaces add creative depth to your shots. At night, use a tripod for long exposure to capture the illuminated details beautifully.
