    Make sure you spend time reading and listening to info in park nearby before going up steps for viewing where the wall once stood. It’s free and worth a visit to understand the difficulties people living in east germany had

    The center of Berlin, Mitte is most famous for sights
    like the Brandenburg Gate, Alexanderplatz, and Museum
    Island. The central location makes this one of the
    city's most expensive places to live. It is here the
    oldest traces of the city can be found, and evidence
    of some significant transformations, as well. The
    gangsters that once ruled the impoverished streets

    Take the U8 to Bernauer Str then you can walk down towards the museum, you can walk along parts of the wall still standing and where the church was demolished to build the wall. Get a day ticket for the U and S Bahn €7.00
