What else to say? Gets very busy and we went again very early as we had 8.15 am tickets for the Reichstag dome nearby. Would recommend an early morning visit as there is no one there then

By European standards of Paris, Rome and London this is MUCH smaller then I pictured. It was surrounded by vendors hawking their goods. The Teagarten across the street was gorgeous and worth the time to stroll.

The gate is a must see in Berlin but hard to avoid seeing, sitting as it does at the geographic and emotional heart of the city. I visted West Berlin a number of times as a student decades ago and looked over the wall at the gate but couldn't walk under it and stroll Unter Den Linden. Now it's again... More

Not just a posh bit of architecture, the large open spaces around the gate attract street theater, weddings and LOTS of people. We spent around three hours in this area just watching the entertainment pass by.

It is a must see of Berlin as a simbol.It is a place for taking pictures,for artists to perform for youngs to dance and to be seen-we saw a group of young and funny people coming with a Hummer limousine and they have a little party near the gate.

We visited the gate as part of a bus tour..... I have seen this many times on the Tv, to be there was awesome , we visited it on Saturday am, it was busy, but great to experience such an historic place. It's a must visit location, if u r in Berlin .
