Brandenburger Tor

The gate is the fixed point of the festival: the Original Berlin Walks Lightseeing tour forms up outside the tourist information at Pariser Platz 1, 10117 Berlin, and most self-planned routes through Mitte finish here. In 2026 it takes a flaming heart projection under the Colours of Love theme, lit from 19:00 to 23:00 with everything else. The square gives the widest viewing angle in the programme and collects the largest crowds for it; the S-Bahn halt underneath is tagged as not step-free, though the walking tour above is advertised as wheelchair-suitable.
