Berlin Attractions
Check Point Charlie
Checkpoint Charlie
The infamous border crossing point in the wall dividing West and
East Berlin has now become a shrine to the wall's memory with the
addition of a museum, Haus am Checkpoint Charlie. For nearly 30
years, between 1961 and 1990, Checkpoint Charlie in the
Friedrichstrasse was the only crossing point between East and West
Berlin. The soldier's post can be visited, and tourists can be
photographed under the border sign.
