Museumsinsel (“museum island”) is the heart of Berlin’s tourism industry. A literal island in the Spree River, it has 5 of the city’s major museums, the Berlin Cathedral, and the Lustgarten.

Theme: Gallery: Graffiti, Signs, and Posters

The graffiti in Germany is everywhere. At first I couldn’t understand why, German culture tends to value order and rules, graffiti feels chaotic and lawless. Berlin is certainly a city of street art, with posters, murals, and fliers everywhere. You can even take tours to learn more about the graffiti of Berlin (I didn’t, but my roommate did. I was in Hamburg.)
