Berlin Wall Memorial

Best memorial of the Berlin Wall in the city . Take your time, start at Nordbahnhof and walk all the way to Schwedter Strasse. It's very interesting and worth your time.

The Berlin Wall Memorial consists of the Chapel of Reconciliation, the Documentation Center , the outdoor exhibition , the exhibition at the S-Bahn Station Nordbahnhof and the Visitors ' Center.

I recommend the free tour in the memorial to get a good intro to cold war and the separation of Berlin, and if you'd like to explore further, go to other museums like Check point Charlie (9.5 euros).

This is a must see if you are visiting Berlin. Also check out the Nordbahnhof S-Bahn station which has a nice display of old photos explaining the significance of this station during East/West days.

An open walk through history, following the trail of the former Berlin Wall. Do visit the Information Centre's top floor to view the reserved part of the death strip .

A tourist trap sure, but well worth visiting. The history is very interesting, yet it might be disturbing to some. Lots of photos, plaques and recorded history lessons activated by pressing buttons.

This is a great example of reclaiming of public spaces while paying tribute to history. Quite a visual treat and if you have the time, there are pictures and audio clips that can be heard for free.

Visits should start at the first floor of the Visitor Centre, where you can see a full documentary (+1 for the english subtitles) on the history of the Berlin Wall. The visit is for free! :)

Definitely worth visiting and walking through the exhibits that run in parallel to where the Berlin Wall used to stand. Check out the view from the visitor tower across the street.

History comes alive at this place! So many things to see and read about that you need to set aside enough time to go through the whole area. Visit in the evening when the temperature is lower.

Another great historical site , in memory of the past. There is audio guide inside the park you can walk along and listen to the descriptive narrative story

Gives a good idea of what the wall was like (really two walls with a well-guarded area in-between; the ”death strip ”). We approached from the adjacent cemetery , displaced to make room for the wall.

The view from the observation tower is not to be missed, and it’s free (donation recommended)! Fascinating stories of individuals.

Visit the documentation center , it is donation only and has an excellent exhibition that takes you through the time with the wall. Also has a viewing tower.

A part of history is here. Sad and blue atmosphere even frightening. A must go place which is free and u can arrive by metro easily

Very good view inside. Don't miss the English film in the visitors center upstairs. Climb the observation platform to have a view .

We stumpled upon this site by accident, but it was amazing. Details and information about the wall, and some of the families living on the street at that time. Really interesting and nice memorial.

I really enjoyed the video at the end, which showed scenes of Berlin throughout 1989, with culminating with the wall restrictions being lifted and jubilant Germans celebrating the border crossing .

Take your time to check out the info-stations. Lots of individual stories that give a human perspective to the whole exhibition . Pay attention to all the marks on the floor and what they represent.

Very well designed. Shows wall elements, torn down buildings and tunnel locations in the death strip . Be sure to include the Nordbahnhof S-bahn stop in your visit (info about ghost stations)

Very well designed, open space with enough information and gives a good feeling of how it must have been.

A must see/do on visiting Berlin - lots of history along a well preserved strip of the wall

Bare and desolated this is my favourite wall memorial in town . I went on a sunday evening while dusk was settling, I was the only visitors and it's been an intense experience! Read more

If you are in Berlin, you must learn a little more about the Berliner Mauer. This free exibition brings some interesting information and you can also walk through history to see how it looked like.

The exhibits are really well designed and thought provoking. You really feel the history of the wall!

Best place to learn about the Berlin Wall with lots of info. Better start from the Brunnenstraße end towards Nordbahnhof , but there's no fixed route.

Free access to a wide-ranging and thought-provoking study of the wall and its history. Allow at least two hours, if not longer, to absorb yourself in this immersive exhibition and memorial.

There is a great viewing platform that looks down on the surviving section of wall and the watchtower. You can see many prominent buildings on the skyline and, it's free!

Much better than Checkpoint Charlie . This is not a tourist trap and is a must see for anyone visiting Berlin.

Openair exhibition of the Wall. One can learn details how it was constructed (including deadly zones, extra strenghtening, etc.) and some stories related to this place(successfull and failed escapes).

Open park . There's a small documentation center where you can climb up the stairs and get overall view of the Berlin wall and surroundings

The best section of "complete" wall that I saw in Berlin. You get a true sense of the scale of the wall and its operation.

super interesting exhibition about this sad part of berlin history. dont miss the death strap view from the tower

Come early as this place can be busy. Always open every Sunday rain or shine. So many treats and inexpensive Berlin souvenirs.

You can see a part of the wall as it was then, next to it there is a memorial for the victims of the wall

The video documentaries are worth a watch and there’s a viewing point from which you can see the rebuilt replica watchtower and wall segment

An important stop. Don't miss the Chapel of Reconciliation. The museum tracks the building of the wall to its tearing down

A bit off center, but still in walking distance. Make sure you read about its history before you visit. Creates sad feelings.

Very interesting. I love free entrance museums . Education should be free!

Very nicely done to give you an impression what the wall was like with lots of info along the way.

Very confronting and definitely as good as the east side gallery . You an see where the wall was and how it was brutally built

A humbling, informational experience for anyone with a keen interest for human progression

Impressive how the place must have looked like in the past. Could not imagine how people are thinking about past time….

History of the Berlin Wall and Cold War Berlin, with remaining section and guard towers of Berlin Wall

Definately a must-see place in Berlin. The atmosphere and stories written on the walls are just stunning.

Take a walk along the former wall and be amazed by the atmosphere and the stories of this historical site .

A free memorial site with a piece of the Berlin Wall and no man's land, great information along the street, visitor 's center with a tower view . A place soaked in history!

Worth a wander by the old Berlin wall with some remarkable stories of people who tried to escape (and mostly failed) during the war

The visitor centre is closed on Mondays ???? also the viewing platform is also only open till 4pm.

Interesting photos and information about the Wall. Check the view from top.
