More information on Checkpoint Charlie
The ultimate symbol of the Cold War which divided Europe and the world for four decades, the Berlin Wall is still the main tourist attraction in the German capital. Checkpoint Charlie, the former border crossing, is also the place many tourists head for first. Yet this world-famous monument is slightly disappointing on first sight. The original border post was demolished and all that remains nowadays is a signpost bearing the words, "You are now leaving the American sector" and a replica of a watchtower from 1961. The only thing really worth seeing is the Haus am Checkpoint Charlie museum.
