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... More

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.

It was very emotional to walk along the remnants of the wall and read all the stories dotted along the memorial site. The photos painted onto the residential buildings on Bernauerstrasse and Ackerstrasse where the road was literally split by the wall were especially touching. It was a great way to spend some time alone and in contemplation during a... More

A living piece of history which is a must see when visiting Berlin. A good amount of the wall is still standing so there are serveral oportunities in the city to see the wall (in widely varying conditions). It is good to see both the crumbling section which helps show the death zone between the two walls and the artistic... More

The wall was built and revamped over the years. This portion shows the section where the Nazis ordered concrete piping which was thought to be for carrying water. Instead it was used along the top of the wall, to make it impossible to climb over, (if you could get past the dogs and sentries). The part you really want to... More

The memorial is a good view of Hitler's Berlin and taking of Germany but I was disappointed that it did not talk about the Communist raising of the wall. Interesting that it was left out????

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.
