Checkpoint Charlie is a brutal reminder of what was once reality for so many people. I specially liked the giant photos of the two young soldiers - one American showing you that you are now entering the west and the other one - a Russian soldier at the boarder of the east.

Checkpoint Charlie is of course one of the "must see" attractions in Berlin. The museum though is overpriced for what it gives. Audioguides were very wordy, exhibits feels unplanned and just stuffed into a few rooms. Some of the things are fun to see though. more

We also got our picture taken with the... more

Checkpoint Charlie is one of my favorite museums because of the present tense feeling that you get.
