Known forfreecold-wartouristycentral
The site of the most famous Cold War crossing between East and West Berlin, now marked by a replica guardhouse and sign. It's free and quick to see, and the nearby wall-history panels are worthwhile. The spot itself is intensely touristy and surrounded by souvenir stalls and fast food.
