The Check Point Charlie Museum is a must for anyone interestedin WWII and the Cold War era. This museum is full of information. The price for this museum is very reasonable. more

To me, this was a museum of evidence of the irrepresible will and determination of mankind to be free. Faced with a life of oppression in Communist East Germany, I was amazed by the inventiveness of those who successfully crossed into the walled city of freedom that was West Berlin and saddened by the loss of those who died trying. more

The only complaint was that I couldnt take pictures, other than that it was very informative and worth going to. more

What a mishmash of information presented in apparently no particular chronological order. It's mostly composed of things on the wall to read and focuses on the minutiae of certain people accused by the East German government of this or that, and how they went on trial and what preparations they made to escape, etc. So the "exhibits" (posters to read)... more

My 12 year old was fascinated with it and said it was one of his favorite places on our two week trip through Europe! If you are at all interested in Cold War history, you will enjoy this... more

If found this museum very disappointing. It has such a huge rep but is so badly organised. I also found it very politically biased. It was also extremely expensive for a budget traveller. I would have given it just one star but the escape stories are quite cool. more

I have visited the museum twice: once in 1977 and again in 2003 and both times found it to be a most interesting place. It was still very small the first time with an eclectic collection of information exhibited much like a small country town museum. On my return in 2003, I spent a whole day there and could have... more
