Potsdamer Platz is situated near the Brandenburg Gate: Together with Leipziger Platz, a second square next to it, this Platz marks the point where the old road from Potsdam passed through the city wall of Berlin at the Potsdam Gate. The urban renewal that changed Potsdamer Platz since 1990 has turned it into one of the key locations of the city and a lively tourist sight.
