Checkpoint Charlie

Charlie CheckPoint en Berlín
Berlin_CheckpointCharlie_6254307_01
Interesting to imagine what it was like back in the 80's before the Wall fell.
One of the world's iconic geo-political sites. Still worth visiting, but the untrammelled commercialisation of the area is a shame. The site deserves better.
Berlin is well worth a visit and stay at least five days. The wall is sombre yet fascinating. I chose to put in the photo of Checkpoint Charlie, but don't skip the sad history. #walls

Beware scammers with clipboards claiming to be collecting signatures for the deaf or whatever. When they have got you to sign they will ask for a "donation". A group of young women may swarm around you distracting you while someone picks your pocket. This operation appeared to run from a shop beside Checkpoint Charlie. Beware!

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

Complete scam - run by gangsters charging to have a photo with an american GI (who clearly wasn't american !!) If the wall was still there - either side of the wall and these would have been shot Ruined it for me

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

avoid the museum as very expensive and touristy

Don't get your passport stamped here. Apparently this can invalidate your passport for travel outwith the EU!
