5 Skip-the-Line Tickets in Germany Worth Booking

1.Skip-the-Line: Berlin Wall Museum at Checkpoint Charlie

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 2,041 reviews · 1 day · from $21Our pick

Visit Berlin’s Wall Museum at Checkpoint Charlie with a one-day admission ticket and skip-the-line entry. See original escape vehicles, including a hot-air balloon, mini-submarine, cars, and aircraft, then follow stories of East German resistance and flight to the West. The museum is self-guided, wheelchair accessible, and includes no audioguide or live tour.

“It was a LOT to take in, in the short amount of time I had. I wish I had more time. I love that the museum didn't "stop" at Checkpoint Charlie and the fall of the Berlin Wall, but continues to document and archive through today.”
