[Checkpoint Charlie | Berlin, "A historic site on the front lines of the Cold War"] — When East and West Germany were divided, this was a border checkpoint between West Berlin, which was managed by the US military, and East Berlin, which was managed by the Soviet military.

A composition that symbolizes the division of history • **Checkpoint Charlie Museum (Mauermuseum)** is worth seeing🎓 → Handmade balloons and tunnels used to cross the wall, as well as other escape tools that were actually used, are also on display • A realistic atmosphere that makes you think about the moment when the East-West border was crossed🌍 ⸻ 🎒 Tips • The surrounding area tends to be crowded with tourists.
