The Brandenburg Gate is the trademark of Berlin. The main entrance to the city, surrounded by the wall for thirty years,
was known throughout the world as a symbol for the division of the city and for the division of the world into two power blocs.
Today's international visitors to Pariser Platz come to re-experience this first gateway to the city,
and to enjoy the long-denied freedom to walk through this magnificent work of art and look at it up close. (Source Berlin Official Tourist Info)
