The Brandenburg Gate, also known as the Arc de Triomphe, in Paris Square, is a landmark of Berlin and a witness of many important historical events in Germany. It has the style of the colonnade in the Acropolis of Athens, Greece. There are six Doric pillars in front and back, which support five corridors 11 meters deep. The bronze statue at the top of the door is 5 meters high. The goddess wears a laurel crown, has wings on her back and rides a two-wheeled chariot with four steeds. The cross of the eagle with wings is held high in her right hand, which symbolizes the victory of the unified German war of the King of Prussia. Ironically, Napoleon, the first emperor of France in occupied Berlin, brought back to Paris as a trophy after his victory over Prussia in 1806, which was a great shame to Germany. Napoleon was sent back to France in 1814 after he lost to Prussia. In 1945, the Arc de Triomphe was destroyed by Soviet Red Army artillery until it was restored and recast by the East German government in 1958. During the split between East and West Germany, the remaining Berlin Gate became a dividing point, and no one passed through it for decades. Until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the Brandenburg Gate became a symbol of the unity of Germany and Germany. Tips: There are few visitors to Brandenburg Gate in the early morning. Always parked a few carriages, waiting for people to sit up and experience the way people traveled during the reign of Frederick William II. Address: Pariser Platz, 10117 Berlin; Arrival: Light Rail/Metro: Line S1/S2/S25/U55, Brandenburger Tor Station, West End of Unter den Linden.

    The Brandenburg Gate, because of its special status in Berlin and even Germany, has become the venue for many celebrations in Germany. Every December 31, the open-air New Year's Eve party is held, and the square and the streets are crowded with people, and the stage is set up to hold a grand live performance to cheer, and people welcome the New Year together during the fireworks tour at midnight.

    The Brandenburg Gate is a neoclassical-style sandstone building modeled on the gates of the Acropolis. It is supported by 12 pillars, with 6 on each side of the east and west, and the front and rear columns are walls. The gate building is separated into 5 gates. The passage in the middle is slightly wider. It is designed for royal members. Earlier, only the royal family and guests invited by the royal family can pass.

    Easy to find using S-Bahn (train). We went by ourselves and there was no guide. There were a lot of tourists but the pictures seen and taken were still amazing.

    This is a landmark in Berlin, the German capital, created to commemorate victory as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. If you have time, you must go once in the day and night, the scenery is very different, and the lights at night are so beautiful. The nearby government unit building is also worth visiting. I went there at the end of January this year. Although the weather was a bit cold, the scenery masked everything and it was a great experience.
