The glass dome of the German Reichstag is open until midnight The glass dome is incredibly popular so many times there are long queues to enter. Visiting this place in the afternoon you can avoid these queues, in addition to taking the opportunity to reserve a table on the terrace of Kaefers, where a VIP service is offered.
The best views of the Great Wall You can not go to Beijing without visiting the Great Wall, but to do it escaping from the tourist crowds, it is best to go to Mutianyu. It is located a few meters from the center and is one of the best parts of the wall. For those who do not like to walk, they can opt for the cable car to go up and down. An important detail is to make sure that you carry water with you, or you will have to pay 500 times more for it once upstairs.
Experience Beijing by strolling through its streets Enjoy the sights and sounds in one of Beijing's traditional neighborhoods or Hutong, before they are torn down to build large apartment blocks.
