Nice bridge over the river spree. Various statues and nice gothic architecture. On one side we have the berliner dom and the other side has interesting art market open on weekends from 11 AM.

The Schlossbrücke is a pretty interesting bridge that links the Unter den Linden road with the island museums. It's a pity that it's currently undergoing renovation with traffic reduced to one lane. I can well imagine how magnificent this bridge would look when the repairs are completed. Arrayed on the balustrades of the bridge are many classically inspired sculptures of pedagogy feature Athena and Nike instructing youths in the art of war.

The views from the bridge are exceptional as you can see all the way to Gertraudenbrücke as well as many of the fine buildings of the Museum Island.

Schlossbrucke (Palace Bridge) is a short but attractive crossing of the Spree Canal that you can use when visiting Museum Island from Unter den Linden. The surrounding area is under much construction at this time but the bridge itself is nice to see and convenient to use.

This is a stone bridge built between 1821-1824 by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, who also created the lovely marble sculptures (1853) which are found on the granite pillars lining the bridge. These statues are scenes with origin in Greek mythology. As are the bronze railing which are decorated in the same style and quite interesting to see.

Note: Before crossing Scholossbrucke, you can take fine pictures of Berliner Dom with the TV Tower in the background and the marble statues of Schlossbrucke in the foreground. Again, there is much construction works in the area which obstructs good vantage points. However, that won't always be the case in the future.
