Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, Germany, is a historic site that serves as a poignant reminder of the city's divided past. During the Cold War era, Checkpoint Charlie was one of the main border crossings between East Berlin and West Berlin. As you stand at this iconic spot, you can imagine the tension and significance it held during those turbulent times. Today, Checkpoint Charlie is a popular tourist destination, offering insights into the city's history and the struggle for freedom. Visit the Checkpoint Charlie Museum to learn about the stories of those who attempted to cross the border, the creative escape methods used, and the impact of the Cold War on people's lives. Walk along Friedrichstrasse and explore the outdoor exhibition, which showcases historical photographs and information about the checkpoint's significance. Reflect on the profound historical significance of Checkpoint Charlie, where the division of a city and the resilience of its people are etched into memory.

Pergamon Museum

The popular Pergamon Museum in Berlin is a great solution to a first world problem; it was built because there wasn't enough room in the nearby Bode Museum for all its artistic and archaeological relics. Construction carried on even through WWI and the great inflation of the 1920s. The then completed Pergamon was also badly damaged at the end of WWII (though fortunately its contents escaped damage). NOTE: The Pergamon Museum will be closed until 2027.

Neue Nationalgalerie

The Neue Nationalgalerie at the Berlin Kulturforum is a world-class architectural icon from the mind of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969), built to house 20th-century art. A major refurbishment was carried out during the late 2010s to bring the ‘60s-era building up to modern standards. The column-free “universal space” is a classic of modernism and serves as the perfect location for works from European and North American masters like Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí, Francis Bacon, and Andy Warhol, amongst many others. Some of the museum’s most famous works are Potsdamer Platz by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, The Skat Players by Otto Dix, and Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue IV by Barnett Newman. A rotating calendar of special exhibitions also takes place in the Neue Nationalgalerie, so keep an eye out for their latest offerings.
