One of the iconic places of Friedrichstrasse, where the border of the division of Berlin into the western and eastern sectors passed, there are many tourists, souvenirs, cafes.
When I am in Berlin, I definitely visit this interesting historical place. There are always a lot of tourists, I always take photos for memory and communicate
An interesting place is the preserved border crossing in Berlin.
The museum nearby is rather one-sided, the division into black and white from the point of view of the winners in the cold war is sometimes touching ;-)
The place is remarkable. Especially for those who lived under Soviet rule, remember how the Berlin wall was built, and what happened to those who tried to overcome it

Super attraction there are always a lot of people around
It is definitely worth a visit if you are interested in the history of the Cold War and the confrontation between the USSR and the USA. Just be prepared that the real situation of that time has been lost. You will only be able to see the checkpoint booth, as well as marketing props, African Americans dressed in military uniforms (photo with them 3 euros), a bunch of souvenir shops, hustle and crowds of tourists. The atmosphere of those years will have to be recreated exclusively in your imagination :)
I have been to this place many times.There are always a lot of tourists.There are many souvenir shops.You can buy a lot of things on the theme of the BERLIN WALL as a keepsake
Probably the most popular checkpoint in Germany. It was built during the separation of the GDR and the FRG. tour guides tell us that not a little blood was shed here during escape attempts. It is often described in spy detectives and feature films.
