Disappointing, obviously a lot of very relevant history here but rather haphazardly arranged with no real flow or direction.Full review by Megandmart

I visited this museum 25 years ago, and I came back recently with my family. I wanted to show them what I remembered as a cool museum with exhibits on how people fled from East Berlin to West Berlin …Full review by poldyblooom

It is what it is, a checkpoint but obviously quite an iconic one. Very poignant from the time. I visited it 30 years ago, still the same. If you’re in Berlin it’s a must. It’s free!!Full review by Bikerchick50
Can you pay on the day or is it best to pre book. If so what's the best website. Thank you in advanced

Aidan, I paid on the day I visited the museum. It was not that expensive from memory. Alas, I'm not sure what the website is you should visit if you want to pre-book. Regards, Danny G
How much time is needed to view the museum? So excited to visit Berlin.

The checkpoint Charlie museum itself (paid entry one ) at least a couple of hours. I'd say a good hour to look at the visual timeline in the area & same again for topography of terrors …
The checkpoint Charlie museum itself (paid entry one ) at least a couple of hours. I'd say a good hour to look at the visual timeline in the area & same again for topography of terrors which Is just around the corner. Would highly recommend a tour with fat tire tours. They gave us a great overview of the city which then gave us ideas of what we wanted to see for the rest of the trip.
Hi I had my official passport stamped in Checkpoint Charlie last summer. And now Im applying as an au pair in Luxembourg where theyre asking for all the copies of all the pages on it. When I read all the comments in the internet.. now Im having a feeling that I made a super stupid decision. Is there anybody here who got questioned and refused by the government officials because of that souvenir stamp?
