### Brandenburg Gate: A Symbol of Unity
Our virtual tour begins at one of Berlin’s most iconic landmarks: the Brandenburg Gate.

Captions explain its turbulent history from fires to wartime damage to reconstruction while emphasizing its role as an emblem of German democracy.
### Museum Island: A Cultural Feast

### East Side Gallery: Art on The Wall
As we continue our journey eastward along the Spree River bank towards Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district we arrive at an open-air gallery like no other —the East Side Gallery.
