  • This "must" is just a waste of time and money. After 5 minutes inside you get the idea, but then you've paid so much, that you must stay and waste at least an hour in this crowded, poorly organized and badly ventilated place.

    Taking a few shots of the replica guardhose should be definetly enough.

    A much better alternative is visiting the remains of the wall at Warschauerstr. (U1, U15)

    In August of 1989 I was seized by the STASI- The Staatsicherheitspolizei- staffeldienstabteilung shot, hung AND sent to the Gulag! I am eternally grateful to the Embassy of the sovereign Marxist state of Shqipëria- or Albania, whose tireless diplomats labored relentlessly to see my release. Kidding! I was DOA.
