The East Side Gallery stands out among others. This spot emphasizes pacifist messages and images with over 100 paintings by artists from 21 countries. They are displayed on the most extended section of the Berlin Wall, which is still standing on the east bank of the River Spree. Among the works to be noticed are those of Christine Mac Lean, Jürgen Grosse, Kasra Alavi, and Thierry Noir. The fresco of the "Kiss of Friendship" between Erich Honecher and Leonid Brejnez also proudly advocates on the East Side Gallery.
With its original atmosphere, the Friedrichshain district is the next place to visit. The artworks are uncommon; some are stenciled, and others are tags and posters. In this region, the names of some streets are to be remembered because they are highly recommended for urban art. These include SamariterstraBe, LiebigstraBem Mainzer StraBe, Rigaer StraBe, NiederbarnimstraBe.
Kreuzberg is another must. Permanent works are not expected here because the facades change regularly. In this area, fans of the Italian artist Blu will be delighted to find several of his frescoes campaigning against war, violence, greed and pollution.
In a different mood, Schoeneberg is described as incredible and shines with its artistic side. Moreover, several contemporary art galleries are available for those who want to see more than graffiti. The most curious thing is that these display rooms are often hidden in buildings.
Several attractions, including Museum Island, Checkpoint Charlie and the Brandenburg Gate, captivate tourists in Mitte. Nevertheless, urban art is of the most significant interest to many travelers. They usually stop at Alte Schönhauser StraBe, Schönhauser Allee and Rosenthaler StraBe to contemplate these paintings. For Banksy or El Bocho fans, these streets should not be missed.
Prenzlauer Berg is the next stop. Quieter than other places in Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg promotes beautiful collages, stencils and hidden tags. In addition, those who visit the Mauerpark flea market can take advantage of the charming tips of the locals to find a fresco as a nugget. ◄
