Definately get yourself down to the Brandenberg gate before you do anything, marvel at it's size and splendor, then take one of the free walking tours that lasts a few hours. You'll see a few groups of people standing around and you'll also see someone holding up a sign with "The Next Free Tour Starts Here" I don't normally like going on these tours i'd rather find places for myself but the tour guide (Jesse) was very knowledge and you could tell he enjoyed the stories and history of Berlin. I have to admit the way they give the tours makes it feel like you are reading a good book, one that envelopes you into the story until you feel like you are actually there. The tour visits all the major sites of the city, and you can take another tour (which doesn't cost much) on another day where they go into detail about the spy's and the cold war.

 Brandenburger Tor 1 by KellyVanRijn I love the Brandenburg Gate. For me, this is the symbol of Berlin, whether war time, post war time, Cold War or post Cold War. Situated near the Pariser Platz on the western end of Unter den Linden , it is a fine place to take some nice pictures, both during the day and at night. For night photos, simply set your camera to 'night shot' (or use at least 1/30 second exposure), steady your camera against a sign post and fire away. FYI- the gate was completed in 1791 and destroyed during the last days of WWII during some of the heaviest fighting for Berlin, the gate was restored and reopened by the communists in 1958 (although without the statue Quadriga's Iron Cross and Prussian Eagle, which have since been added back by the new unified government of Berlin). Leave a Comment Directions: S-Bahn: Unter den Linden, Bus 100, or walk a little from the Franzoesische Strasse U-Bahn (U-6)

by Silverstar Brandenburger Tor and The Fernsehturm 2 symbols of Berlin, like every big city has one or more. You have to see it, otherwise you haven't been in Berlin. The Fernsehturm was a symbol of the greatness of communism, but probably the Brandenburger Tor is the best known postcard of Berlin :-) Leave a Comment Other Contact:

 BRANDERBURG GATE by matcrazy1 My first impression was that the Branderburg Gate wasn't as large as I first thought. It was interesting to get to know the history of the place and the building itself. And no doubts, it was a must see in Berlin, good place to take pictures and to start a walk along representative boulevard Unter den Linden. There were almost identical, neo-classic wings added on both sides of the Branderburg Gate which was modeled after the ceremonial entrance to the Acropolis ("Propylaea") in Athens, Greece.

 PLATZ DES 18 MARZ by matcrazy1 There was Platz des 18 Marz (18 March Square) west of the Branderburg Gate. In contrast to Parisien Platz (east of the gate) it wasn't closed to traffic. Why 18 March? It was the date of the first democatic and free elections in East Germany in 1990. Conservatives beated communists like everywhere in post-Soviet Europe that time. Btw the first after WWII democratic elections in East Europe took place in Poland, on 4th June 1989. Leave a Comment Directions: S-Bahn: Unter den Linden ((S1, S2, S25); Bus: 100, 200, 248, 257, 348.

 IN THE ROOM OF SILENCE by matcrazy1 There was the entrance marked by the table "Raum der stille" and "Room of silence" on the right side/wing of the Brandenburg Gate. We got inside to a room where an older German lady sold some books and leaflets. She welcomed us and when she got to know that we were from Poland she smiled and started to sing... Polish national anthem in Polish language surely with German accent. Haha, it was very nice, we were very, very surpriced. Then the woman unexpectadly started to cry "let's live Poland". At this time we were a little bit confused. Haha, the woman didn't speak English so we couldn't comminucate. Then we came into the empty room with candles and some modern paintings on the wall (on the picture) - it was just the room of silence, the place designated for serious reflection on the not so old past of divided Berlin and Europe, the victims of that time etc. Leave a Comment Directions: S-Bahn: Unter den Linden ((S1, S2, S25); Bus: 100, 200, 248, 257, 348.
