Brandenburg Gate
Sitting in the heart of Berlin, Brandenburg Gate is one of the city's most iconic landmarks. This neoclassical gate, made of twelve massive columns topped by a copper quadriga, originates in the 18th century during the reign of Prussian king Frederick William I. Once a symbol of the city's division, particularly during World War II and the Cold War, Brandenburg Gate now epitomizes the unification and peace of Berlin.
Reichstag Building
Once the seat of Imperial Germany, the Reichstag Building is one of Berlin's most historically significant monuments and was once taken by the Nazis in 1933. Following reconstruction in the 1990s, today's Reichstag houses the German Parliament and is one of the country's most popular tourist attractions. Instantly recognizable, the building's massive glass dome shines from atop the Reichstag.
