they ride by on the bikes and it's no longer 'art'. it's furniture. people should be charged a nickel for the privilege of riding by. quite the piece of historical architecture. and...you might catch a wedding party departing from the front doors OR collected on the steps taking photographs for their wedding album. i love this building. check it out if you have the chance.

to take you, pretty much, ANYwhere in Europe. trust me, i've tried it. it works. PLUS, there are a variety of overpriced food stores inside where you can get some food on the run. good place for people watching, though i prefer the airport. howEVER...you CAN catch a train to the airport from HERE! only one stop/20 minutes away on the intercity(express). if you travel a LOT on the train, you can purchase a 40% discount card for hours OTHER than rush hours/spits. good deal.
