Walking in Berlin

Walls, gates and the stories between them.

The map covers roughly ten thousand places, from Mitte's museums to the traces of the Wall in Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg. Every stop is graded, and routes favour the significant ones.

The city's Stolpersteine, the small brass memorial stones outside the homes of people deported by the Nazis, have their own layer at street zoom. They are not route stops; they are there to be noticed as you pass.

Walks to ask the app for

The Reichstag dome is free to visit, but only after registering online in advance.
In the centre, a double row of cobblestones set into the street marks where the Wall stood.
