Berlin's magnificent new train station (2006), its Hauptbahnhof, has five levels, some of them underground, and you can actually look down from the upper levels and watch trains arriving below. It took a while for some architectural critics to warm up to it, but now the consensus seems to be that it's a huge success and something the city can be proud of. Try to imagine a place that can handle 1100 trains per day and 300,000 people. Its nickname is 'the glass cathedral'.
