Attention! You're Surrounded by Art
For centuries, artists have flocked to Berlin for its vibrant creative scene. Everywhere you look—from graffiti-plastered alleyways to the sculptured glass dome that crowns the Reichstag—the city's artistic impulse is there.
Street art fans should head to Raw Gelände, where a languishing train repair station has given way to a thriving off-beat community of artists whose murals and edgy installations capture Berlin's gritty, resilient spirit. Take time to explore the urban art scene all over Berlin .
For a more formal art exploration, stop by Museum Island and spend an afternoon browsing the halls of the five museums in the middle of the Spree River.
