The Ritz-Carlton: The Berlin Wall East Side Gallery showcases the work of 106 international artists on a 1.3km section of the original wall. A world symbol of freedom, it’s also the world’s biggest open-air gallery.

Israeli Restaurant · Kollwitzkiez · 157 tips and reviews
Martin Jordan: Outstanding hummus -- probably the best in Berlin. Zula offers various types and has other great dishes such as Spinach falafel, too. Big recommendation.
Best Western Central Europe: Take a break. Sit on a bench and let the world go by. Lovely views of the Berlin Dom, the TV Tower and Museumsinsel. Walk across nearby Schlossbrücke with its lovely Schinkel statues.
Joe Cooper: Wow! Great locally brewed beer (a Brit told me it was brewed downstairs, I'm not 100% sure it's true). Favorite offering (so far) is the refreshing Thirsty Lady. Goodbye John is also really great.
Louise H: A free memorial site with a piece of the Berlin Wall and no man's land, great information along the street, visitor's center with a tower view. A place soaked in history!
