📍 From Victory Column, Germany
Berlin's iconic Brandenburg Gate and the towering Victory Column are two of the German capital's most iconic landmarks. Brandenburg Gate, the city's most iconic landmark, was built under the reign of King Frederick William II in the late 18th century and has stood as a symbol of peace ever since. Located just west of the city center, the gate is a popular tourist destination and is a major part of the city's culture. The grand arch stands 66 ft. tall and is adorned by 16 Corinthian columns.
An even more grandiose structure stands a short walk away from the gate - the 196 ft. tall Victory Column. Built in 1873 to commemorate Prussian victory in the Franco-Prussian war. A golden statue of Victoria stands atop the column, with reliefs from the war adorning the lower parts of the structure. From here, visitors can also get an excellent view of the green Treptower Park and the river Spree.
