East Side Gallery is not really what is commonly thought of as an, "Art Gallery." What it is, is a…read morelong section of wall where various artist exhibit their work by creating one of their pieces on the wall. Yes, it is a little bit strange. East Side Gallery is a really a very long wall. There are a lot of artists that have their work showing on this wall. Just like beauty in in the eye of the beholder, so is art. Some of the work along this wall is very good. Others, not so much. All this being said, it is an interesting concept. And, it is something that you should see if you are in Berlin. Just don't get your hopes up to experience something truly revolutionary or cutting edge. Remember, it's just a wall with a bunch of paintings on it.

Checked out this area from seeing all the cool artwork we saw online- love the vibe here! Each…read morepiece is done so creatively and I loved how unique each one was. We saw online that the urban spree plaza opened at 2, so we waited at the nearby cafe as we got there around 1. When 2:30 came around, we strolled over, but it looked like they were barely setting up. Nothing was open yet... after seeing this, I think it may be better to come here later in the day for safe measure. Because of this, I didn't get to see everything, but I can imagine how popping it may be at night time!

I came here to just relax during the day, and then I came back at night to party. Firstly, no bottles allowed inside. During the day there was a performer and she was absolutely lovely. Her music fit the setting perfectly. Inside one of the buildings is an art store with amazing pieces for purchase. Outside there's a small 2 story building where you can get tattoos or piercings (they were closed on the Saturday I went). At night, this place was packed with people! The bar was packed and it was a difficult to get a drink. However, this is where I met such a diverse group of folks from all over the world. I think this makes Urban Spree a definite tourist attraction (A+ for diversity). Behind the bar, another building opened up and there were 2 different rooms on 2 floors designated for European EDM/trance. It's loud, packed, sweaty, and seizure-inducing, if that's your style. Bathrooms are located in here. It's dirty, grungy, and everything you could expect at a dance club. I especially have to give 100000+ stars for the staff. A friend of mine was too drunk to function and instead of kicking us out, the staff spent the ENTIRE night providing us water until she came back to life. we didn't even leave until it was morning the next day. So THANK YOU so much, Urban Spree staff!!!

In fact the only way to describe it is its like wandering onto a slightly blade runner-ish version of Doctor Who or HHG2TY from the 1980s; expecting a moaning robot and a guy with 2 heads and a patch to be sitting loudly drinking pan-galactic gargle blasters in the corner. Very chilled hackerspace, good secure wifi, more or less friendly guys in there, nice riverside garden but this isn't the place to ask for chilled vintage champagne or to wear a suit.. In summary: Mostly Harmless, for Stavro Mueller's Beta

Buitl by the club and always smth new is added. A place for people that wanna hide away from thze real world but yet dont wanna abstain fromsome companionship and partying. The programm varies fromcomputing workshops to G.O. evenings, over Open Stage to concerts or simply Party nights. They have an outdoor area, which is right next to the river spree, whhere you can have barbleques or simply hang out. Cos the room is very big you can feel lost sometimes,the prices at the bar are adequate and every Tuesday theres an Opne Stage night for everyone. Go there and dive into the world of extraterrestrics

If its packed full of people, then it gets super awkward trying to look over people's shoulders, etc. But, the history is super fascinating, and the displays are a look into the life of a GDR citizen, which has disappeared once the wall came down. Cool stuff, but go on a less busy day to get the full vibe out of the place.

I arrived on a Sunday evening around 7:30pm, and stayed almost until they closed at 9pm. That proved a good time to go since there were only about a dozen other visitors in the museum in that duration. Tickets are €13.50 for full price, €8.00 for discounted tickets for students, disabled, military in service or veterans, and recipients of certain unemployment benefits + 7% VAT. Kids under 6 are free. Tickets are available online or in person; when I was there, there wasn't a line. Inside the museum isn't large, kinda like the size of a large retail store. They really pack it in with tons of information about the life and times of people living during the East German socialist era. From providing background on the political shift post WWII, there's information on how social and economic policies affected everyday transactions--commuting to work, grocery store purchases, print/audio/film media, school courses and extracurriculars, vocations, community events and organizations, military service and leisure activities. They do this with a gamut of interactive displays--there are countless cupboards and drawers that can be opened to display descriptions and memorabilia from that era, or other hands-on elements. Anything from replicated excerpts of magazines and newspapers, recreated canned food labels, audio recordings of propaganda, history on the government officials, to the toys children used to play with, recipes for commonly eaten food, etc... The recreation of a DDR apartment with different rooms--foyer, living room, dining and kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, plus a couple full sized cars that you can sit in--really helps to rewind the clock for visitors to comprehend how life was like. Would definitely recommend a visit! I left feeling very creatively educated on DDR times. Gift shop and bathrooms are available. Parking is available via nearby structure, also reachable by public transit S/U-bahn, bus or tram.
