Whether you’re holidaying with the family or on a romantic weekend away, there’ll be art to suit many different tastes. Here at Asda Money, we’ve unearthed some of the best places in Europe where you can see wonderful and unique art at its finest.

East Side Gallery, Berlin

Berlin is undoubtedly home to some of Europe’s most fascinating and moving history, and its thriving art scene is one of the best in the world. From alternative art spaces to modern galleries, there’s something for everyone. One of the most amazing places to visit is the East Side Gallery. Once a part of the Berlin Wall, it’s now the longest open-air gallery in the world.

The East Side Gallery is a remaining section of the Berlin Wall that has recently been transformed into a spectacular canvas for modern art. The tremendous display of paintings stretch along the 1.3km long wall to create an incredible mural. From pop art to surrealism, the gallery showcases over 100 different paintings by artists from across the world, and you can see it all during a walk along the tranquil river front.

Whether you fancy a cosy Christmas trip or a beautiful summer holiday, Berlin is the perfect place to visit all year round. September is a great time to go, as you’ll miss the crowds of summer tourists whilst still getting a bit of sunshine. Flights around this time of the year can cost as little as £10.00 each way from London Airports, with a fantastic three-star hotel costing about €50.00* (£45.78) per night.
