The memorial is close to Brandenburger Tor and Reichtag, which are probably among the top 10 sight in the Berlin. I was in Berlin with a friend. We only had a few days in the city, but we chose to spend the first day walking around the inner city making Brandenburger Tor our first stop. Just a few minuttes more of walking we came to the memorial. The whole place reminded me of a cemetery with all the concrete blocks or Β«boxesΒ». The shape and lack of colors, did make us think of coffins.
