Brandenburg Gate

Located in no-man's land between East and West Germany during the Cold War, this famous monument, built during the 18th-century reign of Friedrich Wilhelm II, has long been a defining symbol of Berlin and both the city's division and unification.

This is another one of Europe’s iconic landmarks. I first saw this in 1988 from a trip to the East side back then there was nothing built on either side or around it and the wall directly behind it. The return to the city 30 years later I expected a lot to be different and a lot of changes, I was not wrong. The area has now been heavily developed on both sides. However the status of the gates itself is fabulous. In great condition they are a true status symbol. I visited at night and during the day for photos and you get a different view of them at each different time of the day I have to say that we were lucky in the fact that on this occasion due to CV there were little to nobody about and got photos with very few people in them. On a normal day this place would be crawling with tourist. You can get through the gates and into the park now and the opportunities for photos are endless if you have a little imagination. We walked everywhere and this is a good 20 minute walk from (Alexanderplatz) but you pass so much on the way so I advise walking . The tube is easy to work out and travel on but you see nothing on the way. Brandenburger Tor station was also closed this day so made no odds to me. Advise is to go more than once given the chance at night it’s lit up daytime sun shines through the pillars even got photos in the rain an iconic landmark of Europe recommended any time of the day during the year.

Volkerschlachtdenkmal

Largest war memorial in Europe

Reviewed By Kacee2011

There is a bit of walking, but this was the highlight of my week. With the audio guide it was like re experiencing a history I knew little about. I usually avoid war memorials, but this one seemed so appropriate. It is hard to believe that very soon after this was erected (100 years after the actual battle), W.W. I began. When will they ever learn?

A world heritage site , definatly worth visiting, take the bus to the top and walk down, unless you are feeling really strong and need a good climb, the water only runs on certain days but with or without it’s worth the effort.
