Since reunification, the eastern side of the city has been changing at a rapid pace, with new buildings being thrown up and old buildings being repaired. Yet there's still a lot of the former GDR capital still around - if you know what to look out for. Here's our guide to some typical East spots.

Many buildings in East Berlin looked like this

• Marx-Engels Forum
