The FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS is taking place from 10 to 21 October 2012. Berlin sparkled as a range of illuminations and projections light up more than 70 famous landmarks and spaces, including Brandenburg Gate, Berlin Cathedral and the radio tower. For the first time, the landmark Europa-Center, as well as Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in the west of the city was illuminated.

Special “lightseeing” tours on the Light-Liner bus, by boat on the Light-Ship, on foot with the Light-Cruso or by rickshaw with the Light-Velo gave locals and visitors alike the chance to experience the creative compositions up close.
