The museum is so interesting, we booked the 90 minute English speaking tour, our guide was a young man studying at university, who spoke with clarity and passion. Nice cafe which served delicious sandwiches snd homemade cakes. We went to the Stasi Museum afterwards, it was a really interesting and informative day learning about the Stasi.

Wow wow wow!! Definitely book a guided tour, it was so insightful and informative. Our guide was so knowledgeable and conveyed everything so well you couldn’t not listen. It was fine to take photos but we chose to not take many out of respect. We took one of the standing cell (which was the one that really shocked us) and everything else will stay in our memories. The whole experience is well thought out and explained. We didn’t stay on for the permanent exhibition or a solo walk around, purely because by that point we were hungry (the tour is 2.5 hours without much sitting down) but wouldn’t have missed it for the world. I am already recommending this to all friends and family who have expressed interest in coming to Berlin. If you’re interested in the history and want to do something a bit more different, this would absolutely be the thing for you.

This one was an activity, which we „just did“ without big thoughts. We had the tour booked, and boy was it an insight. The guide really explained everything without any need of self-pity but more in a sarcastic an zynic way. With a ground tone of the GDR, where you had to agree with everything, but if you read through the lines, you understand exactly, what he meant. This can be difficult, if you‘re not used to that or not too fluent in German. But highly recommend the tour, where the whole Infrastructure, procedures and history is precisely explained.
