Tourist Traps In Berlin

Checkpoint Charlie & The Checkpoint Charlie Museum The original Checkpoint Charlie is no more. Michael Caine assured us there is one 'well actually - there is one - but its nothing like the original - cause you know they ain't going to ask questions and where you will sleeping tonight. The reconstruction named Checkpoint Charlie outside the Checkpoint Charlie Museum Friedrichstrasse 43-45, 10969 Berlin – Kreuzberg, Website ), has an air of pantomime, with mock border guards and an attitude of American derring-do, and is only worth attention if, as a Westerner, one likes to feel embarrassed.

The museum itself is badly laid out cramped and has an air of chaos about. It sells tachy souvenirs many that are probably made in Taiwan. The admission charges are over €12 for an adult, €9+ for children over ten, and €5+ for children over six make it the city's no.1 tourist trap.

The Berlin TV Tower which was built buy the communists to keep an eye on those they ruled - and the allies in West Berlin boasts a restaurant and viewing platform. The entrance fee is €10 for adults and €5.50 for chidren (group rate €8 per person) or approximately double if you want VIP tickets to avoid the queue - if there is one. You can not eat in the restaurant without paying the entrance fee first. The restaurant itself offers good food at moderate prices but the 'high' (forgive the pun) entrance fee is verging on the riduculous. An alternative if you want to see the Berlin does not have is the roof of the Reichstag Building

The 1936 Olympic Stadium . The stadium when it is not hosting sports and concerts etc is open to public. Admission without a guide is €3-€4 (family tickets €8) and with a guide the prices double. Its a stadium not even a second class museum. PASS.
