If you want to see the Berlin Wall, there are only a few places to do it
and this is the easiest one to get to. It also has Hilter’s underground SS
bunkers. While they are right on top of one another, keep in mind that
these were built a few decades apart. The exhibit is outdoors and
located a block away from Checkpoint Charlie.

are) and an upper level with step-free access. You can easily view the
lower level from the upper level.
