There is a bridge south of the Oberbaumbrucke that is not that famous but has one of the best views of Berlin and the Spree river. This bridge is called Elsebrucke, and you can find it in Treptow, close to the Molecule Man. From there you will have the best angle to capture the Oberbaumbrücke with Berlin Mitte in the background with the TV Tower and all the rest. It’s beautiful.
