Beware scammers with clipboards claiming to be collecting signatures for the deaf or whatever. When they have got you to sign they will ask for a "donation". A group of young women may swarm around you distracting you while someone picks your pocket. This operation appeared to run from a shop beside Checkpoint Charlie. Beware!

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

Complete scam - run by gangsters charging to have a photo with an american GI (who clearly wasn't american !!) If the wall was still there - either side of the wall and these would have been shot Ruined it for me

Don't get your passport stamped here. Apparently this can invalidate your passport for travel outwith the EU!
