Hello
I'll be briefly in Berlin for a few days in the Fall and staying in Mitte. I'm looking to take a street art tour. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks

Well the West Side Gallery is not a street but remnants of the old Berlin Wall still standing along the river in old East Berlin - it is maybe a mile long with all the old slabs being decorated by street arts, many of international acclaim. Fading a bit and subject to demolition it still stands sentinel to the times the wall fell and folks expressed themselves on it freely.

Link to my recent Berlin TR which includes details (and photos) of the EAST Side Gallery (ie the murals on the Berlin wall). To my knowledge it's not pending demolition - in fact sections are currently being restored.

Yeh it is becoming a popular tourist attraction - do they still have those outdoor cafes - kind of just chairs along the river there - last I visited was a while ago.
