Berlin-Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Germany

Crossing Oberbaumbrücke is the natural midday pause on any Berlin one-day itinerary. Built in 1896 over the Spree, reconstructed after Second World War damage, and split by the Cold War until 1989, the bridge connects Kreuzberg with Friedrichshain and carries the U1 line above pedestrians and cyclists.

The two brick towers and central gothic walkway are among the most cinematic pieces of architecture in Berlin, the sort of frame that ends up in every shortlist of things to see in Berlin in one day. Standing beneath its arches, you understand why Berlin remains one of Europe's most visually compelling cities.

Pro Tip: Light is best at Oberbaumbrücke in late morning or golden hour. Both directions offer strong photographic compositions, particularly the view of the Spree and the Gothic brick arches beneath the bridge.
