A very small portion of the wall that divided East from West Berlin has been left standing so that one can view what it was like. It is hard to describe how it effects one to see it.

As it is a little out of the way, perhaps not as many travelers visit it, but they should. It's near the Nordbahnhoff and offers extremely interesting history about the wall and its effects on the people of Berlin. The museum itself is free and offers several informative films before you begin the walk. Especially interesting to us was the... More

The Mauermuseum presents the many ways in which people tried to escape East Germany. A visit here will really help you get a feel for how it must have been to live with a wall dividing your city. I would say this is must-see during a visit to Berlin, there are astonishing displays of how people tried to escape, including... More

This was my favourite free attractions in Berlin, the memorial is truly thought provoking and the use of video technology throughout the walk down what once was the Berlin Wall Death Strip was fantastic. It really allowed you to see how it had been for those on the East Side of Berlin when the border closed and the anecdotes on... More

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 Displays and chronological story of the Nazi takeover. The pictures and newspaper stories attached to them was fascinating and gave me much deeper appreciation for the struggle against facism.

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
