Visit The Berlin Wall

A guarded concrete barrier that physically and ideologically divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989.

A Divisive Monument Turned Symbol Of Unity


One of the world’s most famous landmarks, the 27-mile long Berlin Wall stood for nearly 3 decades, as a looming concrete border separating Germany’s Soviet-controlled East from its West Constructed during the cold-war, its historic fall in 198 is seen as a pivotal point in the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union

And though on that day, much of the wall was destroyed, the remaining remnants (including the East Side Gallery which features the longest existing section) along with related landmarks such as the Wall Memorial, Checkpoint Charlie (once the Wall’s main crossing point), and the nearby Wall museum, remain hugely popular and iconic landmarks that collectively stand as reminders of its fascinating and often tumultuous history.
