"Berlin - As a Divided City" Berlin by PeterVancouver

Berlin Travel Guide: 6,874 reviews and 15,326 photos

East meets West

It is still odd to be able to walk through the Brandenburg Gate even though the wall has now been down for well over a decade. It is however still somewhat a dividing line, as a few KM further into the east of Berlin you are very aware by the stark grey concrete buildings, that were built in the communist days.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Still as vibrant a city as ever
  • Cons:Berlin is currently a building site, with construction everywhere
  • In a nutshell:Wonderful to be able to go to the East without the dreaded checkpoints
  • Last visit to Berlin: Aug 1972
