Brilliant museum tucked away in the Kulturbrauerei. Free entry and absolutely full of fascinating displays, photos and items about living the in DR, in which this building was a factory during that time.I especially loved the Trabant tent. Nice shop with the cheapest prices of any where I went, get a mini Trabant model here for much less than anywhere else.

Excellent museum, just opposite museum island. €13 entry, was good value as there is so much here to do. Lots of interactive and thought provoking displays. You could get in the Trabant and pretend to drive it. Brilliant mock up a typical DDR flat in Berlin, with a scary lift experience too! Lots of flaps to lift, plenty of information in English. Nice toilets too.

Lovely restaurant in the Hackescher markt area of Berlin, close to museum island. Very friendly staff and owner recognised many people coming in, do must have regulars, always a good sign. Food was served very quickly was very tasty. Fully vegan and lots of choice. Everything was clean and despite it being quite busy, I was not rushed with my meal.
