체크포인트 찰리(Checkpoint Charlie)는 베를린 장벽의 여러 검문소 중 하나이다. 1961년 동독 정부가 베를린 장벽을 세우자 미국에 의해 세워졌다. 영국과 프랑스의 군대가 1962년에 체크포인트 찰리로 파견되었으며, 서독에서 동독으로 이동하는 외국인들이 유일하게 지나갈 수 있는 길이었다.
Definitely a cool historical site, however the soldiers dressed in uniform will ask if you want a picture and charge you for it. You can also get your passport stamped here!
The preserving of history is always great but found the two guards over friendly with tourists. It's good for a quick walk through. Tip: save more time & energy for the museum which closes by 5 pm.
Nasty tourist trap. There is nothing funny in the tragedy of German people, they should simply leave the checkpoint as it is, not organize performance with guards and so on. Disgusting.
The only way in or out of communist East Berlin after the creation of the Berlin Wall in 1961. It gets its name from the phoenetic alphabet, after checkpoint Alpha and Checkpoint Bravo.Read more here!
Checkpoint Charlie is a symbol of the Cold War. Is a important landmarks in Berlin and representing the separation of East and West of Berlin. It’s full of tourists.
The exhibition is huge and comprehensive, however sometimes off-topic. Plus translations into English and Russian are faulty and inconsistent. Worth visiting to realize the tragedy of the wall
