East side Gallery, Berlin

 

It has to be one of the most iconic sights in Berlin, the art on display in the east side gallery and it’s a must on any trip to the city. 

In 1990 after the fall of the wall 118 artists from 21 countries made a political statement with art work on the eastern side of the Berlin Wall the area has been developed since and not all of the pieces remain and the ones that do are repainted versions of the originals but they are part of the city and its story. 

The best part is that it’s free it’s literally just a wall along a main road. Very close to Berlin Ostbahnhof station and easily accessible from both the U Bhan and S Bhan stations. There’s a shopping mall very near the east side mall and it’s close to the Mercedes arena where they play ice hockey. 

It’s a must on any Berlin trip
