Brandenburger Tor is one of the nicer metro stations I visited on my trip to Berlin, as you can…read moretell with the name it serves the Brandenburger Tor which is basically the Brandenburg Gate which is one of the main and key attractions in Berlin. It is located on the U55 line which is quite useful for connections into Bundestag and Berlin Central Station, the overall journey across the line from Brandenburger Tor to the Hauptbanhof (Central Station) is 8 minutes and as I recall, this is the only line this station is on, meaning most likely you're going to have to visit another train station to change, being one of those two, to get the metro into Brandenburger Tor, perhaps because of this, it might just be easier to get the bus as I found to be easier when traveling from my Hotel. I called at this station by chance, hoping to get into Central Station so I used the U55 line to go the full length of the train route which is 8 minutes. There did appear to be one end of the station cornered off, which probably was the place you would get off the train for the U55 here at Brandenburger Tor, so they appeared to be turning and using the other plaform for some reason. This metro station did also seem bright and modern, it didn't seem old, dark and smelly like some trains on the network and also had lift access, warranting a solid three star rating which is supported by the location being meters away from the Brandenburg Gate. 3 star rating due to reasons discussed above, sadly I don't feel it is worth any higher as the station remains understaffed and of course it is only on the U55 line.

I remember the train slowing down through a brightly lit and empty station, except for an East German guard or two.. I still vividly remember the green tiles line the walls of the Unter den Linden (not Brandenburger Tor) station. I had the opportunity to return to the Brandenburger Tor station last year. I was walking down the Unter den Linden and heading towards the Brandenburg gate, where this time I could freely walk through unlike the Berlin Wall days. The station came into view in front of me and I immediately knew that I had been here before (albeit in passing underground). I walked downstairs, walked through the corridors and touched those green tiles. That's quite a reminder of what was and how walls could happen again.

From the train station, connections to other modes of transportation are directly outside the station. You could take the N14 or N17 bus to a location about a 5 min walk from Park Sansoucci, and another 12 minutes to Schloß Sansoucci. Headed in a different, I took tram 96 to bus 603 that takes you to a bus stop that's a 5 minute walk to the entrance of Schloß Cecilienhof; this route takes about 35 minutes. Inside the station, there are plentiful retail and food options, no lack of things to keep you occupied if you are waiting for your train to arrive. The layout of the station is very straightforward, from the main entrance you go up a set of escalators and there's a walkway straight that leads to all platforms. Good thing is there's no lack of signs with train info. The interior of the station is also very clean. A good number of attractions and restaurants are located within a 15 minute walk of the station as well, including Museum Barberini, Filmmuseum Potsdam, St. Nikolaikirche Potsdam.

The station itself beside trains station, it's also a super mall. You could find a lot different shops and restaurants here, even like Media Markt you also could find it here. It's really convenient. If you have to wait for your train, then you just hang around and do some shopping. In front of the station, there are tram stations and bus stations. There are so many different line here that allow you to travel with it all around the city Potsdam. If you already have the area C of Berlin ticket, the you don't have to buy other ticket here, but remember to check your ticket is that only one direction and couple times. If you got only one time, then you got to buy a new ticket when next time you take any public transportations again. I found the system quite fair though. From the railway station to the city center of Potsdam usually took around 4-5 mins by public transportations. If you come here to visit, that's actually save a lot time. So you could start at the city center, explore all the famous sightseeings here. Don't miss the beautiful Sanssouci castle and garden. And Potsdam itself is a very beautiful city as well. At the end, personally I like this station a lot, quite well-organized and clean. There are information stand and free map for people who needs help. And definitely it won't to be bored, even I have to wait here. Instead of just siting here, I could go to do some shopping or just check out some new books in the book shop. Fantastic!

Inside the station, has coupe food stands (imbiss) around, when you are in hurry and hungry, you could always pick up some food here before you run into the train. This is also a cross station that you can change the line U1, U2 and U3. There are also bus stations around, that made it really convenient. But one thing has to mention, the timing of the trains between different line are really short, if you have to change here, then better hurry yourself a bit, otherwise you will miss it for sure. The station is not really big, but sure has it own history and uniqueness. It's also take people to one of the busier and nicer streets in Berlin. I like this station a lot.

On the side of the station, you can also find rainbow covered the wall. If you come here at night, when they light up the station, on the top of the station, there is rainbow there as well. If you interested at it, just walk around this district. There are many different great restaurants, cool bars and interesting shops around. Plus people are really friendly and nice here. It's quite nice place hang around. The station itself for me got a really strange design. Just like every stations, it has two entrances for each directions. But the entrances of this station be separated by a intersection, so if the passengers want to go to the other side of the entrance, they must walk through from inside, or wait for the traffic lights and cross the street. It will take some time, not so convenient when you are in hurry. This is the crossing station, which you can change between U1, U2, U3 and U4. But better hurry up, usually them all arrived in very similar time. If you missed it, no worries, just took 4-7 mins till the next train comes. There are bus stops around. Inside the station, this is also U-Bahn office there, if you get any questions or just lost your way, you can ask them for help. If you just want to get tickets, you can get it from the tickets machine.
