Checkpoint Charlie, the most famous of the inner-German border crossing points and a name known the world over, was where Allied border guards would register members of the American, English and French Armed Forces (and their families) before they visited East Berlin. The "Wall Museum – Museum House at Checkpoint Charlie” is right next to this major tourist spot. The museum displays an incredible number of the original means and tools that people used in their escape out of the GDR: from the hot-air balloon to a mini-submarine, plus plenty of real and fake travel documents.

There are several well-preserved schools, or "medersa", located around the city of Tunis. Many of these historic monuments have become cultural centers, and a visit here will give you a good feel for what school life would have been like centuries back.

A moving and sobering memorial to the victims of WWII who fell during the North African campaign, an often overlooked chapter of the war.

The popular Plaza de Flores is often crowded but Plaza Julian Romea is an excellent option. There are many great restaurants, tapas bars and bars just to go out for a drink and people watch.
