Berlin Wall Memorial's East Side Gallery: Berlin, Germany
Graffitied segments of the Berlin Wall that separated the former socialist country of East Germany from democratic West Berlin are enshrined around the world. In Berlin, however, one of the few monuments to the Cold War is the Berlin Wall Memorial, featuring a gallery of 101 panels totaling around 4,300 feet. They were painted by artists in 1990 to commemorate the Wall's fall and preserve a segment from destruction by urban development. To learn more about the history, impact and significance of the Berlin Wall, consider a tour. Stop by the Chapel of Reconciliation (Kapelle der Versohnung) where services in German are held every Tuesday to Friday at noon to remember those who lost their lives trying to cross to the west, and visit the museum across from the memorial site to learn more about life in the area prior to 1989. The traveler-favorite Hotel Adlon Kempinsky has views of Brandenburg Gate, a Michelin-starred restaurant, spa and central location for exploring the city.
