What it is
The neoclassical gate of six columns with the quadriga on top is the symbol of Berlin. Between 1961 and 1989 it was trapped in the strip of the Wall, with no passage from one side to the other; today it is a pedestrian square, Pariser Platz, at the end of the Unter den Linden boulevard.
How to see it
Come twice: by day, to walk through it from Unter den Linden towards the Tiergarten, and at night, when it is lit and almost empty. The Reichstag is five minutes on foot to the north and the Holocaust memorial five to the south. The nearest station is Brandenburger Tor (S-Bahn and U5).
