3.DDR Museum Berlin Admission Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 352 reviews · 1 to 2 hours (approx.) · from $16

Visit Berlin’s DDR Museum opposite the cathedral and explore daily life in East Germany from 1949 to 1989. Recreated rooms, propaganda broadcasts, a Trabant, a housing-estate tour, election displays, and a Stasi interrogation scene make this a hands-on stop for adults and children.

“Some really interesting exhibits but more of an attraction than a museum. A subject that should be treated with sensitivity but there's an emphasis on fun and pushed as a family activity, so there were a lot of kids running about pressing buttons and messing about. Ruined the experience a bit. My advice, go when it's quiet. A great museum but ruined by being overrun with kids. Sorry for being grumpy.”
