“All I remember seeing there of Roman times is the city wall of Regensburg”

Me too. And York.( The Viking museum is excellent!) Love seeing history.

The best thing I got to see when it comes to history was spending an afternoon at the Brandenburg gate a few months after the wall came down. Families being reunited after decades. Even the soldiers were getting teary eyed. Great day.

Found this yesterday.

Best Brandenburg Gate memory: my sister visited me for a week. I took leave and rented a car, and showed her a week’s worth of Germany (not enough). It being, as far as I knew, my one chance in a lifetime, after going properly around the BG going east, I flopped a U-ey in Pariser Platz and returned to the west *through* the gate.

I don’t know how it is now, but at the time, the road was marked for buses only. 1995.
