Berlin,
I have come to learn is an international city, with its share of technological innovations as well as the quaint areas alongside the river Spree.
The summer attracts hordes of tourists from all over Europe and around.
On one of my touristic ventures, I visited the "Olympiastadion" on a sunny afternoon.
Here's some quick Wikipedia info about it :
The current Olympiastadion was originally built for the 1936 Summer Olympics, triggered by Hitler and his associates to use it for his propaganda.

Aside from its use as an Olympic stadium, the Olympiastadion has a strong footballing tradition also being one of the venues for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
The building itself is closely circled around the stadium.
Another interesting fact is the Olympic Bell.
It used to be atop a bell tower, 77 metres high. From its peak could be observed the whole city of Berlin.
The tower was the only part of the stadium destroyed in the World war-II
The Olympic bell which was in the tower, fell the entire height down when the tower was destroyed.
Today it stands as a memorial.
The stadium has also been used for music concerts, and from Wikipedia, it seems that artists like Madonna, MJ and Guns n roses have played at this venue.
