What the Berlin Wall Looks Like Today Popular East Berlin West Berlin Tourist Site Berlin Germany  At the height of the Cold War the Berlin Wall was over 28 miles long running through the heart of the city.  There were dozens of manned guard towers operating 24 hours a day.  Plus there were guard dog stations, motorized patrols, camera installations, hidden  trip wire machine guns, land mines and more to stop any East Berliner from getting out into West Berlin.

Today after 27 years of time not much of the wall remains intact.  There are a few areas left where you can go to see the actual wall.  The first one in this video is near the O2 Arena.  But the best one to visit is near Mauer Park.

Here you can see the West Berlin side of the wall and also the East Berlin barriers that are still standing.  There is an actual Guard Tower that you can see along with a section of the former Death Strip.

There are a number of information posters inside the former Death Strip area you can walk through that tell you the locations of former tunnels and buildings that were used to get East Germans out to West Berlin.  Also there are photos of people that were killed by East German Border guards who tried to get out to West Berlin. #berlin #berlingermany #eastberlin #eastgermany #berlinwall #deathstrip #berlinwallgermany #berlinvacationsites #visitingberlin #germanyhistory #travellingwithbruce
