Explore Berlin Street Art and Graffiti

With most of the citizens from many places around the world, Berlin is a melting pot of exotic cultures and living styles.

It’s difficult to decide what to see in Berlin because there are so many things that you should check out. In this article, I focus on the fascinating perspective of this city – Berlin Street Art and Graffiti.

Berlin Wall

Thanks to its popularity, the Berlin Wall is one of the must-see-attractions if you visit the capital of Germany.

It was built to divide Berlin from 1961 to 1989 into two parts: East Berlin and West Berlin.

When the Wall was taken down, many artists have used it as an art gallery for exhibition.

Walking along the Berlin Wall, you can see the creativity and exceptional contribution of artists. Here are some pictures of my discovery.

You surely cannot miss this iconic graffiti “My God, Help Me to Survive This Deadly Love” by Dmitri Vrubel in Berlin. This artwork is also referred to as “Fraternal Kiss.” It is one of the most well-known murals in the Berlin Wall Galery.

You can find this mural around the middle of the East Side Gallery wall. After the restoration in 2009, the fenced was put in front of the painting to protect it from destruction.
