The unmistakable Glienicke Bridge connects the capital city of Berlin to Potsdam via the Havel River. It was an active bridge during the Cold War. Troops from the US and Soviet armies faced off several times on this bridge. The bridge was famously used to swap spies from both sides of the Cold War back and forth, giving it the nickname "The Bridge of Spies." It wasn't until the year 1989 that the bridge finally reopened for public use again. You won't want to miss visiting this famous bridge that has been the host of so much history.
