Just outside the station. Definitely worth more than the price paid. You can move as slow or fast as you like. I didn't find it claustrophobic at all as some people have said, it had fans and the rooms were mainly very big. The displays were set out so that anyone could read them in German and English as well as listen in whichever language you choose. If you like…”
