Explore the Best of Berlin With This Ultimate Travel Guide

Another must-see historical sight is of course the remnants of the Berlin Wall. For 28 years, this stone wall — one of the most influential symbols of the Cold War — divided more than just a city. It divided the world. While little remains of this barrier today, what is still standing serves as a symbol of freedom and reunification.

For those seeking to visit the Berlin Wall, I highly recommend stopping at the East Side Gallery, a memorial which consists of murals and graffiti painted by international artists in 1990 and then again in 2009. This section stretches almost an entire mile and is the longest, best-preserved part of the wall.
