Overview
Take a trip to Brandenburg Gate on your Germany Vacation
Brandenburg Gate is an 18th-century monument in Pariser Platz, Berlin. It was built on the orders of the King of Prussia, Frederick William II. During the Cold War, it was a symbol of division, standing between East and West Germany. Following the reunification of Germany, it became emblematic of unity and peace and is today one of Germany's best-known landmarks.
The gate's design is based on the Propylaea, the gateway to the Acropolis of Athens. It is made up of 12 Doric columns, six to each side, forming five passageways. The gate features carvings and bas-reliefs, most of them depicting stories of Heracles, the legendary Greco-Roman hero. At the top of a gate is a Quadriga, representing the goddess of victory driving a chariot pulled by four horses. After taking in the historic landmark, you can stroll Pariser Platz and visit its cafes and restaurants.

What do the experts say?
Globetrotters need to get a picture at Neuschwanstein Castle, the fairytale-like castle in Bavaria. It's a highly recognizable and picturesque location that consistently draws visitors for its stunning architecture and scenic surroundings. I have visited this place several times and it's a knock-out setting for photography!
Germany has several iconic castle hotels offering a unique and luxurious stay experience that can be booked through Goway's local partners. Some popular options include Schloss Hotel Kronberg, Burghotel auf Schönburg, and Schlosshotel Steinburg. These hotels provide a blend of historical charm and modern comforts, often set in picturesque locations like the Rhine Valley or the Bavarian Alps.
Germany has a highly efficient and well-integrated public transportation system that is good for both local and long-distance travel options. This includes buses, trams, subways (U-Bahn), suburban trains (S-Bahn), and high-speed trains (ICE, IC), among others. Public transport is generally reliable, comfortable, and relatively affordable, making it a popular choice for both residents and tourists.
One must-do or must-see local event is the Oktoberfest in Munich, the world's largest beer festival and folk festival, held annually. It's a vibrant celebration of Bavarian culture, featuring beer tents, traditional music, dances, amusement rides, and Bavarian cuisine.
Germany's rich history and internationalism make it unlike anywhere you've ever been in Europe. Its turbulent history brings a wealth of historical attractions, like the Berlin Wall, Brandenburg Gate, Bundestag

We had traveled with Goway a few years ago and were hoping they could help. Our specialist, Farnaz Bagheri, was fantastic, she listened to what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. She literally arranged everything with her French partners. The guides and drivers were wonderful the accommodations were excellent. Communication was easy from the first discussion to the time we got home. Farnaz planned for us an exceptional trip in a very short time frame. Promise next trip we will contact Goway much earlier.

The feedback from my clients was overwhelmingly positive, with particular praise for the local tour guides, who helped make the trip so memorable. Everyone had a wonderful time.
Thank you, Christine, Tanya, and the Goway team, for taking such great care of my clients. I would happily recommend Goway and look forward to working with them again!customerI wanna start off by saying that Farnaz our agent was excellent!!! she planned the whole experience from start to finish. We did not have to worry about one thing the entire trip. All the hotels were great. Our transfers from hotels to fairies to airports were all available and always on time.

I hope they definitely using the company again and especially our agent Farnaz!!! Thank you do mych for a wonderful experience!

To celebrate, I wanted to take my bride to Europe for 50 days. Also, other than the flight over, I wanted to make the trip by train. I contacted Farnaz at Goway. The trip we planned ultimately extended to 60 days. It was absolutely flawless. We had great hotels, great tours. Even though this trip was complex and had a lot of moving parts, there were no problems. Farnaz and the folks at Goway done a great job. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them on any future tripsDaniel GraffWe had a fabulous Croatia vacation with a cruise from Dubrovnik to Split, followed by land tours on Split and Opatija. Lodging was always comfortable and conveniently located. Tours and activities were perfectly suited to our interests. We have used GoWay for 2 vacations and are currently working on another. Karen
