I have been in the Hauptbahnhof in 2008, a very impressive/imposing place.

Most of the day is spent taking the S-Bahn or the U-Bahn (suburban and subway trains) to get where you want to be. Here are a few black & white impressions of the newest stations on the network. The main station - Hauptbahnhof - not a station for the faint-hearted - if you look over the balustrades, there is an unbroken drop of around 60 metres to the lower level platforms.
