Checkpoint Charlie

Many people believe that visiting the Haus am Checkpoint Charlie or the Checkpoint Charlie Museum is a must when visiting the Checkpoint Charlie border crossing. Travelers and experts agree that the museum provides context for the border crossing that still exists, and you will find harrowing tales of individuals who managed to cross the Berlin Wall from East to West as well as tales of those who were unsuccessful. A full history of the Berlin Wall is also provided.

Recent visitors to the area had conflicting feelings about the museum; some complain that it is overpriced and that the neighborhood is commercialized, while others were charmed by it. Everyone concurred that it's worthwhile to go, even for the photo op. Many people cautioned that because there is so much knowledge on display, you'll probably spend a lot of time reading while you're there. Reviewers warn that you should pick and select what you read to save time.

You must pay an additional 5 euros for the audio guide and for taking photos. Children under the age of six enter free.
