Is Stasi Prison Memorial (Hohenschönhausen) worth it solo?

Worth itSolo

Solo, Stasi Prison Memorial (Hohenschönhausen) works.

Being led through the cells and interrogation rooms by someone who was actually imprisoned here is one of Berlin's most powerful, unforgettable experiences. The catch: it's far out in Hohenschönhausen, only really sensible with a (timed) guided tour, and is emotionally intense.
