I'm a big fan of art and Berlin has some cool galleries to visit, as well as plenty of street art (though I did not explore the street art scene enough, just looked at what I could see near Pace Gallery and Urban Nation). Here's the galleries I went to in Berlin:
I've been to Fotografiska in both Stockholm and NYC - I preferred Stockholm over NYC - so when I saw there was a Fotografiska in Berlin, I knew I had to go. It's open from 10am until 11pm every day so you'll definitely find time to pop by and explore the exhibitions that are on. My fave exhibition out of the three was "Corbijn, Anton" by Anton Corbijn.
This is the first Pace Gallery I've been to, though like Fotografiska you can find their galleries in other cities worldwide. It's free to enter and has a very cute cafe. My favourite art here was "Sorry I Thought I Was Someone Else" by Friedrich Kunath, outside in the garden, and "Afterparty" by Esben Weile Kjær.
Just down the road from Pace Gallery, you'll find Urban Nation. Another free gallery, it's dedicated to urban and street art over two floors. Make sure you pop to see the very sticker-covered bathroom (though you'll probably think it's just part of the gallery, at first!). My favourites here were the Ammazzo street art by HOGRE and "The Writers' Bench" by Rocco und seine Brüder underneath Moses & Taps' "Post-Graffiti" piece.
I've shared a bit about East Side Gallery already in my post about the Berlin Wall because that's what the East Side Gallery is, a 0.8 mile section of the Berlin Wall that was transformed into one long mural. After the fall of the wall, artists started painting their colourful murals on it, though there are now five blank spots where the original artists chose not to restore their murals back in 2008-9.
