The best known of Berlins symbols, the Brandenburg Gate stands proudly in the middle of Pariser Platz, asserting itself against the modern embassy buildings that now surround it. Crowned by its triumphant Quadriga sculpture, the famous gate has long been a focal point in Berlins history: rulers and statesmen, military parades and demonstrations all have felt compelled to march through the Brandenburger Tor.

- For a quick pit stop between sights, visit the Starbucks on Pariser Platz 4A.
- You can trace the course of the Wall along the former border patrol road, following the green-and-white Berliner Mauerweg signs. Historic interest and natural beauty alternate along the trail.

Built by Carl G Langhans in 178991 and modelled on the temple porticoes of ancient Athens, the Brandenburg Gate is the undisputed symbol of Berlin. Since the 19th century, this iconic landmark has been the backdrop for many events in the citys turbulent history.
Brandenburger Tor
Google Map
The 6-m (20-ft) high sculpture was created in 1794 as a symbol of peace by Johann Gottfried Schadow. As the model for the goddess of peace, he used his niece, who subsequently became famous throughout Berlin.
Quadriga
Favoured by visiting dignitaries, the citys most elegant hotel is a reconstruction. The legendary original, destroyed in World War II, hosted celebrities that included Greta Garbo, Thomas Mann and Charlie Chaplin.
Hotel Adlon Berlin
This modern building, designed by the American architect Frank Owen Gehry, combines the clean lines of Prussian architecture with some daring elements inside (for further details see ).
Built in 20002005 and designed by Gnter Behnisch and Manfred Sabatke, the Academy of Arts incorporates, behind a vast expanse of windows, the ruins of the old art academy, which was destroyed in World War II.
Christian de Portzamparc built this elegant building in 2001 on the site of the old embassy, which was ruined in World War II. Its colonnades and windows are a homage to the original.
This complex by Bernhard Winking is a successful modern interpretation of Neo-Classical architecture. Inside you will find a caf, a restaurant and a souvenir shop around a pleasantly shaded courtyard.
Palais am Pariser Platz
Josef P Kleihues built this in 19968, faithfully recreating the original that stood on the same site. The house is named after the artist Max Liebermann, who lived here. In 1933, watching Nazi SA troops march through the gate, he famously said: I cannot possibly eat as much as I would like to puke.
The last gap around Pariser Platz was finally closed in 2008. A dispute had delayed building for years: the US wanted a whole street moved for reasons of security, but had to concede the point in the end.
American Embassy
With its clean lines, the Dresdner Bank, built in 1997 by gmp, recalls the style of the New Sobriety movement of the 1920s. In front of it is Pariser Platzs famous original street sign.
Eugen-Gutmann-Haus
Of all the buildings in Berlin, the Reichstag, seat of the Bundestag (parliament), is probably one of the most symbolic. The mighty structure, erected in 188494 by Paul Wallot as the proud manifestation of the power of the German Reich, was destroyed by arson in 1933 and bombed during World War II. In 1995, the artist Christo wrapped up the Reichstag and, in 1999, the British architect Lord Norman Foster transformed it into one of the most modern parliamentary buildings in the world.
