Close to the Reichstag is the Brandenburg gate, which has become the most important landmark of Berlin. Remember the video that was shown before the match begins for World Cup 2006? It was featured in there. It is not just a scene for Berlin itself, personally I think it is the best monument that represents Germany.
It used to be the scene of milliary processions and parades. When the Wall went up, it was left in a no-man's land. It is also one of the many places when the Wall was first taken down. Therefore, it has its place in history in Germany as the gate where the West and the East side of the city came together again and symbolizes both the division and unification of Germany. Personally I would love to come back to visit again- a reminder of the importance of looking back at our history.
On the road close to the gate, you can also see a distinctive marking of a line which shows you where the wall used to seat-a really amazing scene.
