Travel Guide
The whole city is the backdrop here as we move around the streets and the alleys in a spy thriller that places you back within the intrigue and mystery of the time not to mention the danger.
There are the two iconic symbols of the time which take centre stage in this story as backdrop – such as Checkpoint Charlie which is now a museum – very interesting and very poignant indeed. Hallesches Tor is the underground station which sits at the southern end of Freidrichstrasse and Mehringplatz is a gate of Berlin’s 18th-century city wall.
