Berlin's Top 10
Brandenburger Tor

Prussian emperors, Napoleon and Hitler have marched through this neoclassic-
al royal city gate that was once trapped east of the Berlin Wall. Since 1989 it has
gone from a symbol of division and oppression to the symbol of a united Germany.
The powerful landmark, which overlooks the stately Pariser Platz with its embassies
and banks, is at its most atmospheric - and photogenic - at night when light bathes
its stately columns and proud Goddess of Victory sculpture in a mesmerising golden
glow.
