Berlin
Few places in Berlin have a history as closely tied to German division and reunification as the Brandenburg Gate. Completed in 1791 as a neoclassical city gate, it became a national symbol long before it took on its Cold War meaning. From 1961 to 1989, the Berlin Wall ran immediately alongside it and passage through the gate was closed. The Quadriga, a sculpture of a four-horse chariot, crowns the monument. Pariser Platz spreads before the gate, with Unter den Linden leading east toward Museum Island, while the broad parkland of the Tiergarten begins to the west. The nearby Hotel Adlon first opened in 1907; its present building dates from 1997.

Tucked along the River Spree on the North German Plain, Berlin is a city whose character is shaped by waterways, parks and a broad, level urban expanse. Germany’s capital carries the visible marks of division and reunification, from the Brandenburg Gate to the preserved sections of the Berlin Wall. Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, brings together major state museums in the historic centre. The East Side Gallery turns a surviving stretch of the Wall into an open-air display of murals.

Berlin stretches from the Havel lakes in the west to the wooded districts of Köpenick in the southeast, encompassing a lowland capital shaped by rivers, parks and dense urban neighbourhoods. The Spree runs through its centre, past Museum Island and the government quarter, while the Landwehr Canal links inner-city districts. Brandenburg Gate remains the city’s best-known neoclassical monument, and preserved sections of the Berlin Wall recall the decades when the city was divided. Museums, theatres, music venues and communities from across the world give Berlin’s districts distinctly different rhythms.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
