Information For Your Visit
Index
The longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall between Ostbahnhof and Oberbaumbrücke has become world famous as the East Side Gallery. After the fall of the Wall, 118 artists from 21 countries created the world's longest open-air gallery on 1.3 kilometers of the former border wall. As a symbol of joy at the end of German division and at the same time as historical testimony to the inhumane GDR border regime, the East Side Gallery is now one of Berlin's most visited tourist attractions.

The East Side Gallery is open around the clock.
The visitor information center in the gatehouse at Mühlenstraße 73, 10243 Berlin, is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is the meeting point for guided tours and educational programs.
