Is interesting to see that the wall was not as intimidating as the snipers that patrolled the area to kill on site.

The wall seems to continue to dominate the spirit of Berlin as almost as much in its absence as in the presence of the parts that remain. It is startling to come upon the brick trail that at least partly marks the path of the wall where it no longer exists but it's shocking to see the hulking slabs where...

Great explanation of the history of the wall brought to life! A very moving experience. It was mid-winter but still worthy of a visit.

Very, very important stop to see while you are in Berlin. The wall recreation is very impressive as are the exhibits. It's free and a must see.
The collections of photographs as well a piece of the wall give you goose skin when reviving how those people where split in two by a dictatorial regime... We shall not forget what happened here.
A section of the wall has been left standing. You have to see it as it's part of history, but it won't take long to walk round.
