A long stretch of the Wall, on the bank of the Spree, which artists from all over the world painted in 1990, after the fall. It is an open-air gallery that is now looked after by the Berlin Wall Foundation. The most photographed murals, such as the kiss between Brezhnev and Honecker, are around the middle.

Get off at Ostbahnhof and walk towards the Oberbaum Bridge; at the end, cross the red-brick bridge towards Kreuzberg. It is always open and free. First thing in the morning there is room for photos without crowds.
