Definitely a must visit in Berlin. Amazing place to take a look at one of the most impactful events of history. Very well made, the staff are amazingly helpful and it's free. One big raw part of the berlin wall is here.

FANTASTIC! This is a free museum where you will learn in an excellent detail the history of Germany and Europe during Hitler dominance. Real photos, with a fantastic gallery. This was just fantastic! I bought a book due to feeling like that I needed to know more.

Typography of Terror was an enlightening display of the history of WW2. It was very well presented in English and German with a very thorough audioguide in many other languages.

I couldn’t help but think how challenging it must have been for German historians to honestly retell the horrors their country and leadership inflicted on their own people and their neighbours.

Topography of terror, a museum and a memorial, that provides a written information with photographs or you can take an audio guide, that tells about the horror times in our history. Around that place you can see the crushed stones. It was mentioned in the audio guide, that this kind of place should never be covered by grass with time. People should not forget it and must never let it happen again.

Very well done. Entrance is free, as it should. More is needed though, due to the nature of the events that took place. It is quiet inside.

I read and learned a lot about the rise of Nazism and World War II in school when I was a teenager.
It was revolting, and somewhat hard at the time to understand how a whole nation agreed to follow such atrocious ideology.

The museum taught a different perspective on the history that might have been told somewhat differently from the text books, and that helped me understand the foundations that made the rise of Nazism possible.
The exhibition was so well put together that I purchased the book of the museum to explore more.

It was very busy so it took a lot of time to read everything. There is an audio you can display from your own phone. The stories are very interesting. There was a tour going on but we couldn't book that anymore, it was full. Better to book it few days before.
