The Berlin Wall.

After being partially removed in 1989, travellers can still find parts of the wall today.

TOP TIP: the East Side Gallery is the place to go and the best way to see a sample of Berlin’s amazing street art. Over a kilometre in length, the gallery has been used to express change over time, offer a sense of euphoria and hope for a better future through some Insta-worthy painted artwork.
