For those who love History, its unmissable! There are some original parts of the Berlin Wall and other preserved peaces from that time. You must visit. By the way: its very better and authentic than the other places of the Berlin Wall.

If, like me, you grew up in the 80s with the Berlin Wall as background noise, it's imperative you visit! I honestly admit that I never truly fully understood what went on around me until this visit. I think I experienced every single emotion while walking down Bernauer Straße and ending in the Documentation Centre and the viewing platform. A must if in Berlin!!

The stories of the the people's struggles with examples of their determination to be with the ones the...
