Information:
The Brandenburg Gate is one of the most recognisable sights in Berlin and perhaps even in all of Germany! You can’t visit Berlin without visiting the Brandenburg Gate. The Brandenburg Gate is the symbol of union and freedom. It is a powerful monument that holds a lot of emotions and meaning.
The Brandenburg Gate became the symbol of the Cold War, when the entrance gate stood exactly on the site of the Berlin Wall. After the fall of the Wall, John F. Kennedy’s world-famous speech “Ich bin ein Berliner” was also given here. Today, it is the only remaining of the former 18 city gates and a popular photo opportunity for visitors from all over the world. Despite being one of the busiest locations, this place is not to be missed!
Opening hours:
The Brandenburg Gate stands in a public square that is open every day of the year. Very occasionally there are events here, only then it can be closed!
