Accessible Brandenburg Gate in Berlin
The Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor) stands on Pariser Platz, which is considered one of the most beautiful squares in Berlin.
Flanked on either side by the Liebermann House and the Sommer House, the main paved area by the Brandenburg Gate is comprised of small flat paving stones, which are very easy to wheel on, and is relatively level (there’s a barely noticeable 1% gradient). The pavements on either side of the square, minimum width 160cm, have a completely smooth section, and also have the same, barely noticeable, 1% gradient.

The Brandenburg Gate is easily reached from Brandenburger Tor S-Bahn/U-Bahn station (just 150m away).
The accessible on-street elevator access to Brandenburger Tor station can be found here.
Accessible Toilets near the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin
There are two accessible toilets on the street near the Brandenburg Gate. The first City Toilette is located on the street, just outside the Brandenburger Tor S-Bahn – U-Bahn station (on the center island of Unter den Linden near the junction with Wilhelmstrasse).
The second accessible City-Toilette is also located on Unter den Linden, but heading away from the Brandenburg Gate (it is located near Madame Tussauds here).
There is another accessible toilet in the underground exhibition centre below the nearby Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (free entrance – but donations kindly accepted, and if you go down just to use the accessible toilet, then a donation should definitely be made). There is an accessible lift which will take you down there.
There is another accessible “City Toilette” on the northern side of Bundesstrasse 2 (just beyond the Brandenburg Gate itself).
All City Toilette facilities in Berlin are free to “EuroKey” holders (similar to the RADAR Key – but RADAR keys do NOT work here). So unless you have a EuroKey, you will need to pay (it’s only Euros 0.50 though).
