Visit BERLIN 🇩🇪 Germany Street Art, Galleries, Events

[1978per]

Nice! Thanks for all the suggestions. What I should do now is expand my visit to a full week. Unfortunately not an option, but I'm hoping to check out a few of the locations suggested above.

Planning on spending the next few days exploring the street art in Berlin. Buckwurst, thanks for all the great direction!

as luck would have it, I'm on a stag do in Berlin while the stolenspace show is on at Urban Nation.
Only half or so of our group will be bothered about it though, so can anyone recommend any good bars and/or eateries near to Bulowstrasse?

Just back from Berlin where we helped install Sandra Chevrier and Strøk into the excellent Project M project, curated by Yasha Young. Building can be found at Bulowstrasse 7. Rone (AUS) created a huge mural on the building whilst Know Hope, Ron English, Lucy Mclauchlan, Erik Jones, Crajas, Klone Yourself and many others took to the windows. Check it out if you're in Berlin. More news soon on Nuart's involvement in the projects development. Gonna be huge !

Who did this "F"?

I daren't quote it......soooo many pictures in one post I started to wonder if I'd somehow managed to jump across to a flickr account or something......but that was a fantastic collection of snaps @buckwurst.

Thanks @11!
I really like that image and didn't know about this guy.

Nowadays it’s in a state of disrepair having been abandoned by the allies at the fall of the Berlin wall, and the unification of west and east Germany.

Since then it has been in the hands of various private owners but nothing has been developed. It’s left relatively untouched, apart from the graffiti artists that is.

Graffiti artists from around the world come to do do their art there, often it will last for just a short while until the next artist paints over it.

Thanks for sharing!!

[South Bound]

Some really amazing stuff!!

[greenpoint]

Thanks for that.

I was there just a couple of weeks ago to participate in a guided tour. Definitely a nice place and great atmosphere with a lot of good graffiti.

And the view on top is really nice as well.

But they already mentioned at that time that they have some issues with the owner and that they have to stop the tours.

Thanks for confirming it's your first time.

[Yesterday, another forum member asked for tips on Amsterdam, without bothering to mention whether they'd previously visited the city (and, if so, what they had already seen). The impact on useful potential recommendations was so huge that I just skipped the thread. This solution seemed fairer than spending time responding to someone who was requesting advice while simultaneously making it difficult for other people to advise them.]

How many days have you got in Berlin?

If you're looking for street art and graffiti, there's certainly plenty of it. I generally dislike them, but consider taking a street art or "alternative Berlin" tour if you have limited time and need to prioritise efficiency over DIY and independent discovery. Google is your friend here.

Although non-street art and non-graffiti, I myself would focus on:

(i) Bauhaus Archive / Museum of Design; and

(ii) Helmut Newton Foundation.

Was there at the end of September. Don't know what the weather is like at the end of January but if it isn't too cold, do rent bikes. Rode a bike the entire week; best move ever. I didn't seek what was where and came upon pieces by Blu, Roa, Various & Gould, Os Gemeos, Fairey, Cyrcle, DFace, the Urban Nation building and all the pieces just across the street from there (Eine, Cranio, etc.) by chance. The Boros bunker was amazing but you must make a reservation in advance. I also enjoyed the Hamburger Bahnhof museum. Enjoy your stay, I sure did!

[mehor]

regarding weather: january, february are excatly the months berlin is and feels wet and nasty cold. but maybe you are lucky. today we have 12 degrees celsius and partly blue skies thanks to global warming so there may be hope for january but do not expect to spend all day riding a bike or chillin in the sun.

sightseeing: i must say that above is more then i know regarding urban art etc. if you dig more, check out the many museums like neue- and alte nationalgalerie, deutsche historisches museum and the many more.

of course, a must see would be around brandenburger gate. all the political offices, the little bit of wall left, bunkers and hundreds of other places.

food: let me know what you like (where you stay) and i can give you some nice places where people from here would go.

party: what music you like would decide what clubs you would want to go...berlin is known for electro at the moment. so berghain is worldwide know (hard to get in), watergate is good, ritter butzke.
and then there are some fancy playces like puro (skyroof).

if you do not have a hotel yet. stay at the 25 hour hotel (direct view at the zoo west berlin) and the bar above is great. and the hotel is not expensive.
if you want to stay more where all the sightseeing stuff is, stay around rosenthaler platz.

and then it depends how long you stay....

It's 'Where' 

[Cornish Crayon]

The Home Counties are on form this week lol

[Fake]

[TeddyJ]

Looking forward to se what Berlin have to offer.
Thanks again. Happy Christmas.
