This gate is a symbol of German history and is a must see. Its simply beautiful. Also very close to this gate are many other tourist attraction like the Reichstag (Parliament). So one can cover lot of attractions in one go. Near the gate are lot of small open air food joints which serve good non veg food and a... More

After all these years, it continues to be a gathering place for many people some thinking about the Nazi armies parading in the area and others in awe of the architecture.
