2. Paris, France, 1900

I love how not much of this bridge has changed other than the modernization of the boats! You could walk right through history here!

3. The Karlstor, Munich, Germany 1946

The sign over the archway is more relevant now than ever, maybe they should put it back!

4. Reichstag, Berlin, Germany, 1945

This restoration is simply beautiful, especially when you consider how much of the building was destroyed in the first photo.

5. Moulin Rouge, Paris, France, 1900

This one should be a wake-up call for anyone actually expecting it to look like it did in that movie with Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor.

6. Frauenkirche Dresden, Dresden, Germany, 1897

The original building was destroyed in World War Two, which just makes the restoration even more remarkable!
