History - Cold War: Checkpoint Charlie Museum - a waste of time
  • Tip Rating:
  • 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.

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.
