Brandenburg Gate<br />
Probably Berlins most famous landmark, the Brandenburg Gate is iconic and<br />
today symbolically captures the unity and peace of a once divided nation. Built<br />
in 1791 the gate stands at 26 metres tall and provided the backdrop for much<br />
of the euphoria when the Berlin wall finally came down in 1989.<br />
At the top of the gate lies the statue of Quadriga depicting the goddess of<br />
victory driving a chariot pulled by four horses. For a short period, the statue<br />
was in hands of Napolean in Paris until the city was captured by Prussian<br />
solders who returned it to Berlin.<br />
Berlin Zoological Gardens<br />
The oldest zoo in Germany<br />
that remains a popular tourist<br />
attraction. It was rebuilt after the<br />
second world war and has since<br />
been famed for its successful<br />
breeding programs as well as<br />
authentic environments. Visitors<br />
can expect Arctic Wolves, Zebras,<br />
Pandas, Giraffes and so much<br />
more, over 20,000 species in fact.<br />
