Since very little of it still exists, we had a hard time visualizing just exactly what the Berlin Wall was like until we visited here. Excellent signage and truly a memorial to those who lost their lives trying to go over the wall. If you have more than a couple of days in Berlin this should be on your list. More

Highly recommended of you are interested in this part of Berlin's history. It is a living history of the wall. The memorial comprises a long stretch (I am guessing about half a mile long) of where the wall used to be. On the whitewashed walls of existing houses huge photographs are reproduced and printed onto them showing the history of... More

It is a little difficult to understand where the memorial actually starts and ends because it stretches a very long segment of road where the wall used to be, but I would say a visit to the area and a visit to the actual memorial centre is well worth your time to get some information about the wall and the...

The section of the wall is the last remaing of the era and is well documented with plaques, stories and sections of the wall including guard tower, no man's land and the wall itself. There is a observation deck about five floors high across the street which highlights how the wall and towers looked during the period of the divided... More

Museums and ancient ruins are very interesting but this site is by far the most valuable part of Berlin, because it refers to a time that we lived in. Spend some time online or talking to some German local people to learn about the division of Germany and what this wall stood for. The Graffiti retained in a big part... More

What a fabulous memorial! It’s sprawling, over multiple city blocks and very well done. You can stop at multiple little kiosk areas where there are articles to read or recordings to listen to, or pictures or videos to see. Buildings along the street have huge pictures of various wall images - building, escapes, guards, etc. The park is filled with... More

Hard to imagine this happened within my lifetime. The photos and post exhibits give plenty of information in this park. Part of the wall is preserved intact and there is also a guard tower in place. More
