You do not need to leave the bus to know this place. You can take your picture from the bus and save your time to a more interesting place in Berlin

Though all of the artwork shown on the wall seemed relatively homogenous and similar, there were many cool, abstract pieces that gave the collection character. Certainly not the best graffiti I've seen (if it is even technically graffiti) but still a massive chunk of the wall that is interesting to explore.

This gallery is really a 1.5 km stretch of the Berlin wall, it has been decorated by artists from around the globe with pieces of political signiticance, though some are just fun. There is the great Yaams bar just around the corner, and this whole area is packed with clubs and creative people. It is changing so fast though that... More

Quite far, but worth the ride. Enable you to understand (a little) the city story, and also a fraction of the Cold War.

This shows off the trendy side of Berlin in full force. We did this on our last day as almost an afterthought but it is one of my highlights of my visit to Berlin. The artwork is beautiful and vibrant (and in some cases disturbing) and although some people feel the need to tag over the paintwork it (usually) just... More

Got here around noon and was surprised to see that there was no crowds at all that time. Only a few tourists. I took a S-bahn to Warschauer Strasse and walked the whole wall to Ostbahnhof. Great artwork that represents a time of change, hope and freedom. Sadly most of it is damaged by vandalism. You could get a wider... More

Here is an art gallery outdoors painted directly on remains of the Berlin wall! We went early in the morning so that there were very few people around, and were blessed with beautiful weather. We started at the famous 'East Side Gallery' sign near Oberbaumbruke (which is another fantastic sight itself) and wandered along the entire length, taking in all... More

We walked all the way from Tiergarten but there is a U station very near by to save your feet!! Approx a mile long the remains of this part of the Berlin wall are well worth a visit - this is a free gallery and you just walk along the path at your own pace. You'll be able to see... More

East Side Gallery Berlin can be an expensive city, so if you are on a budget, this attraction is for you, Free, but get here early, as the queues are unbelievable, a great stop for all you budding photographers. This is amazing to see up close, and a sight you will not forget, a lovely walk after breakfast. All my... More
