Checkpoint Charlie, the most famous of the inner-German border crossing points and a name known the world over, was where Allied border guards would register members of the American, English and French Armed Forces (and their families) before they visited East Berlin. The "Wall Museum – Museum House at Checkpoint Charlie” is right next to this major tourist spot. The museum displays an incredible number of the original means and tools that people used in their escape out of the GDR: from the hot-air balloon to a mini-submarine, plus plenty of real and fake travel documents.

Teufelsberg, an artificial peak in Grunewald, was formed from the rubble of World War II. It provides a sweeping 360° view of the city. During the Cold War, this location served as a key surveillance site for British and American intelligence agencies. Nowadays, it's a popular spot, especially on weekends, when guided tours offer a glimpse into its past, enhanced by striking street art galleries.

From the outside, Carré Sainte Anne deceptively looks like just another church. Those who do venture inside, however, will be surprised to see the refurbished space that has been turned into a contemporary exhibition pavilion, with expositions designed to resonate with the unusual nature of the space.
