Wall pieces: Off the wall prices!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Berlin doesn't have as many souvenir shops as other large cities, but the ones it does have are a bit of a rip off. Postcards in particular seemed expensive, while cold war souvenirs were being sold at outrageous prices (the East-Side gallery souvenir shop and the shops near Checkpoint Charlie are perfect examples). In addition, some shops were selling parts of the wall for rather extortionate prices. I'm dubious as to whether these are genuine.

    Souvenirs: Checkpoint Charlie souvenir shops
  • Tip Rating:
  • This used to be no mans land....now it's best avoided for other reasons as it's only there to part you from your Euros...

     When I lived in Berlin I wasnt that beer drinker, but I think that wheat beer is called "Weizen". Could a German help us?

     Don't be an idiot and destroy whats left of the wall.

     I love that you've done so much with the off the beaten track ideas: there is so much to Berlin and the surrounds beyond the "Top 5" tourist stops.
