You can not come to Berlin and not visit the Wall memorial. It is free and you can see what the wall looked like as there are big sections still in place. It really is a sobering experience to see the pictures of those who died trying to win their freedom.

Get off the U Bahn at Bernauer Strasse and the tour starts there. It’s very informative with commentary, photos, Wall sections, watch tower and visitor centre. It’s free and it’s excellent. Don’t miss doing this when you visit Berlin!

A little out of town, no need to take travel bus en route - a cab is cheaper and easier. Can be a little busy but try to take yourself away from others and think about the situation and how the wall is set up and it becomes quite harrowing. Well worth a visit. doesn't take long but well worth it.

Sadness and happiness come to mind when visiting the wall. Sad for the 38 years it existed , happiness that it is gone . Very tastefully set up with information . We got off from our bus tour as a stop and then walked to checkpoint Charlie and the Brandenburg gate . I new the way and it was a nice day . Worth the visit when in Berlin .
