36 Hours in Berlin
Berlin is still divided — on whether the Iron Curtain was cool. There’s even a German word for it, “ostalgie,†a combination of the words “ost†(east) and “nostalgie†(nostalgia).
Those haunted by the 2006 Oscar-winning film “The Lives of Others†should also pay a visit to the Stasi Museum (Ruschestrasse 103; 49-30-553-6854; www.stasimuseum.de), housed in the former Stasi offices.
