Beautiful artwork. Plan to spend over an hour so you can view each piece of art and interpret. Well worth the trip to see this piece of history.

It was such an incredible experience to visit the outdoor gallery. Thought provoking paintings 🖼 on the wall by many artists. I love it!!’ I enjoyed walking around the area too. The location of the gallery is ideal. It is not far from the train station and there are plenty of shops nearby. Highly recommended to everyone 🇩🇪

East side gallery is also one of the major tourist attraction. It’s a perfect place for all the art lovers. The whole wall till the end showcases unique and creative artwork. Each wall is different from an other. Totally worth visiting this place in Berlin.

Absolutely breathtaking and very very deep. It's amazing to see how much of die Mauer is still standing today; painted over with beautiful, meaningful murals from artists all around the world. This place holds so much meaning and worth without needing any words to explain it. It's still extremely hard to believe how it separated Berlin just over 30 years ago. It is very easy to access via the U2 and being free, it is a must go to for any visitor to Berlin

The East Side Gallery is an impressive monument that gives you a glimpse into the city’s past, present and future. Stretching over 1km along the banks of river spree, this open-air gallery of murals created by artist from all over the world depicts themes of joy, hope, and peace. I found myself captivated by the variety of stories illustrated through the artworks. From political statements to personal messages, each mural gives a unique insight into the people and culture that helped shape this remarkable city. The pieces not only celebrate freedom but also provide a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting it. Definitely a site not to be missed when visiting Berlin.

If you ever get to Berlin you just got to visit the wall. Take your time and bring a comfortable pair of shoes. Each painting has to b looked at in detail....I actually recommend you go to the far side of the street to view them.. you will be amazed at just how much detail you will have missed if you don't. Enjoy
