Berlin: DDR Museum Tickets

3. Berlin: DDR Museum Tickets

Visit the DDR Museum, where the history of East Germany (often called by its German acronym, DDR, instead of the English, GDR) is made tangible. See reconstructions of DDR apartments and learn about daily life under the communist regime. The items in the museum are not hidden away in cases, but wait to be properly discovered. You can pull out drawers, open cupboards, reach inside and browse. Climb into an original Trabant, turn the ignition – and off it goes. Experience an exciting simulated voyage through the prefabricated districts accompanied by the typical Trabant noises. Turn on the television in a typical East German living-room and rifle through the Karat wall-cupboard, one of the most evocative home-furnishings of the GDR era. Smell the spices on the shelf and see the pressure-cooker on the stove. Watch news-reports sitting in an original cinema stall, or dance to Lipsi, East Germany's answer to rock-and-roll.

Super thing, as much as you want in Berlin for the 72 hours that I booked the Welcomecard with the trains, buses around. And endless great discounts in all areas, be it food, drink, museums... Next time in Berlin, again with the Welcomecard

Berlin Public Transport is excellent and cheap, so the Berlin WelcomeCard is a no brainer to help you get around, not to mention you get some excellent discounts into most tourist places and activities in Berlin.

I've been using it for 11 years and I'm still happy with it. The information is precise and concise.

Top. Free travel on public transport in Berlin is great. In addition, had a discount in the fernsehentoren.
