• Open around the clock, with a visitor center at Mühlenstraße 73 (10am to 5pm daily, closed Fridays from November) where tours start
• Stroller and wheelchair friendly along the whole wall, though by the river only the upper paths are step-free
• One small restroom, no changing table at the visitor center, so plan diaper changes before you come

The East Side Gallery is the longest surviving stretch of the Berlin Wall, running 1.3 km along Mühlenstraße between Ostbahnhof and the Oberbaumbrücke. After the Wall fell, 118 artists from 21 countries painted it with murals.

Kids can hunt for famous ones, like the Brezhnev and Honecker kiss and a Trabant car bursting through the Wall, then cut across to the green strip along the Spree.
