My favourite sight of all of the sights in Berlin. There is just so much going on around it and it seems to be a living sight since the pictures are changing occasionally. Recommended! ????

Magnus Bergström

It's not as rough or great as much of the other street art of Berlin, graffiti-wise. But if your looking for an alternative, colourful and both fun and dark way of experiencing history, go here.

Artyom Fedosov

Graffiti on the one side, wartime posters on another. Worth seeing both sides. Terrible reminder of that time. Must see in Berlin.

Timur S

Really nice place and a must see if your are in Berlin but please be careful with the scammers attached in the photo. They play a theater to make you believe you can earn money!

Mahmut Enes Kayaalp

You should arrive here from Alexanderplatz getting of S-bahn at Ostbahnhof station. Then walk along the wall till the end, cross the Oberbaumbrücke and walk till the 2. stop of U1, Schlesischer Tor.

Michael Holdsworth

Wonderful street art and graffiti on a stretch of the Berlin wall. Make sure you give yourself a good few hours to take it all in! A scenic part of town as well , great looking across the water.

A must Visit when you are in Berlin. The Graffiti wall is colorful and worth visiting. You can also little bit more about the Berlin wall history.

Valentina Torre

Although it is a tourist attraction the place arouses emotion .. the surroundings are always in transformation, pleasant overlooking with the possibility of stopping in the kiosks along the river .

Kyze

Beautiful and important place, you must visit it if you're in Berlin. It's a shame that they've put ugly fences to protect the paintings . It's now really hard to take beautiful pictures of the wall.

Amit Gaharwar

As historic as it can get. Remembrance of what it was like when Germany was divided. Great paintings with fraternal kiss and trabant breaking the wall being the most popular. Very near to ost bahnof.

Jackie Klein

Longest standing stretch of the Berlin Wall covered in murals . Highly recommend a detour to Friedrichshain to check it out.

Brook Lynn

About 1.5 km of Berlin's Wall remains.Some nice pieces of art , with deep political or/and social messages.The only bad thing, was the fence infront of it, because of "wall maintenance"

Ingi

It’s too bad that a lot of art has been destroyed and the wall is slowly disappearing because they want to build new stuff there. Go and see it while you still can!

Ro J

A must do if you’re in Berlin. Totally worth walking the whole length of the wall and admiring all the art work!

Alexandra Bálint

Must see when Berlin! You should check the qr codes placed under a couple of pictures to get more information about the story of the Wall and some pictures

Lauma Z

Take a half an hour of your day to visit this historical monument in the heart of Berlin. You'll see history that has been made into art - you'll see real and true emotions.

Oh-Berlin.com

Though the wall is 1.3 km long, it's definitely worth the walk to see the the scattered artwork! The memorial and Visitors Centre at Bernauer Strasse are also worth visiting. Read about our visit! Read more

Russell Hirschorn

Top attraction in Berlin. Great for a walk and observing some great murals . Get a schnitzel under the train tracks .

Fernando Mora

A must. Before 8 am is free of people (tourists ) and you can take great pictures (also from the bridge ). It starts at Ostbahnhof and finishes at Waschauerstr.

Vangelis Koukidis

It's a must for every first time tourist in Berlin. The condition it's in is not that great, though, lots and lots of stuff written on top of the "original" graffiti . Great photo spot .

Liesbeth Van Vynckt

You really can’t miss this iconic landmark . Artists from all over the world decorated the west side of this part of the wall immediately after the reunification ❤️

Emircan Eryılmaz

The East Side Gallery is understood as a monument to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the peaceful negotiation of borders and conventions between societies and people.

sevgilicemre

Awesomeee! Great works near spree, and free wifi neighbourhood, when the weather is good such an amazing chill out there ;)

Mariana Garcia

The grafittis are fare way of having the quality that the Wall deserves, but is still amazing to walk around just imagining all the history behind it (or between).

Amelia Rivera

It's especially awesome early in the morning before the crowds flood the sidewalk and you can no longer take a relaxed look at the murals .

Dennis Janssen

A real piece of history (1.3 km of Berlin Wall) which is decorated by graphiti artists . Certainly worth the trip.

Nando Rossi

The art is great and worth seeing, but make sure you visit the wall memorial at Bernauer Str if you're interested in the history of the wall. It's free and very informative!

Fabian Serin

The view of the wall from the east side is unbelievable, it reminds us the fall of the wall. The street art on the wall is a must see.

Alvin Tien

Historical site . Spend a bit of lone time and try to taste every graffiti . They reflect the culture and history of Berlin.

The Ritz-Carlton

The Berlin Wall East Side Gallery showcases the work of 106 international artists on a 1.3km section of the original wall. A world symbol of freedom, it’s also the world’s biggest open-air gallery .

Will

Great sight. Must for Berlin. Sad but kinda part of Berlin are all the graffiti and tags on the wall pieces with the paintings ...

Kenny Vermeulen

A 1.3km walk filled with street art by many famous artists . Take some snaps. And don't forget to go to the souvenir shop where they can stamp your passport.

Mahmut Enes Kayaalp

When you walk into the opposite direction of Alexanderplatz along the gallery you will reach a beautiful bridge : Oberbaumbrücke

Vueling

It is considered to be the greatest open-air art gallery in the world,thanks to the hundreds of murals created by international artists in 1990, to celebrate the fall of the Wall. http://bit.ly/SSSguq

Grys Tin

Quality of those art works is not really high, hundreds tourists are taking a pictures of the most famous ones.. But it is really important to see this, history is written here.

Ryan Ma

The graffiti are totally remarkable artifacts of the past. Definitely a must for Berlin. Just be ware if the hawker outside. My friend and I both got scammed :'(

Mike Whitcombe

A “must” when visiting Berlin. Should be visited with the history in mind…

Hector

Please, make sure to visit this site in Berlin as soon as possible. Stretch of murals over 1 km, right near the water. Beware of crowds trying to photograph everything.

Pedro Brites Moita

Largest standing stretch of the wall. More and more abused but a must see. Don't miss out on yaam 500m after ostbahnhof for summer chilling afterwards.

Jon Bills

Enjoy the murals on the road-side of the wall, then walk back on the river-side and check out the graffiti tags on the back. The bars here aren't great though. Better to cross Oberbaumbrucke instead.

The Ritz-Carlton

Visit the East Side Gallery in Friedrichshain to see an outdoor piece of art while enjoying the beginning of spring at the Berlin River Spree.

Besher Soued

One of the most popular touristic attraction in berlin. The longest remaining part of the wall. The graffiti is great historic and fun

Aline Brandão

Most of the original murals have been defaced by tourists and garden-variety grafitti - although sometimes with thought-provoking or just hilarious results (e.g. the "Paris is better" scribble).

Julia Lu

Nice walk with a lot of awesome graffiti and art . A Berlin must see!

CrossFit Werk

The longest outdoor museum ever. The remainder of the historic death mile, a zone between the original Berlin Wall and the fence marking the security zone. Many lost their life trying to flee DDR here

Ugur Kagan Dinçsoy

Best place on Berlin..

Tatha Saragih

Cruise the gallery with bicycle than walking, more efficient this way. Stop by at your fave art and strike a pose!

Alessandro Mingione

Important historical landmark ruined by illegal graffiti and the fence the government has put in front of it to keep the graffiti away.

Vaso Gioni

The Berlin Wall is a great part of History... A must visit for everybody!!!

Joanne Moussa

One cannot visit Berlin without seeing the famous historical Berlin wall.
