📍 From Ebertstraße, Germany
The Brandenburg Gate is one of the most iconic landmarks in Germany, and its impressive neoclassical design is a must-see for any visitor to Berlin. Located at the western end of the famous Unter den Linden, the gate was once the entrance to the palace of the Prussian kings and has been the backdrop for many momentous events throughout German history. Visitors today can explore the gate’s imposing arch and the adjoining square, lined with trees, flagpoles, and a 60-foot-tall quadriga sculpture of a chariot pulled by four horses. While exploring, you can also visit the nearby Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe—a tribute to the millions of Jews killed in the Holocaust. The Brandenburg Gate provides a powerful reminder of Germany’s past, and a powerful symbol of its present and future.
