Berlin is one of the best cities for exploring history, architecture and quirky spots. Located just a few minutes from Checkpoint Charlie, Currywurst Museum draws you in with the bright red currywurst truck parked outside. Anybody visiting Berlin will see how popular the Currywurst is &#8211; shops and vendors selling the famous sausages can be spotted starting right from the airport to the market areas and various spots of the city. In fact, it is said to be invented right in Berlin itself. So, for all you food and history lovers, visiting the Currywurst Museum, getting to know the history of the world-famous dish and then trying out some for yourself is a fantastic idea. You can shop for some souvenirs too and leave feeling full and happy. If you visit on a Monday or hold a Berlin Welcome Card or even have a student Id, you can get discounted entry tickets. In case you don&#8217;t have much time to spare, you can also enter the museum and try the Currywurst without going inside to visit the exhibition. &#8211; Menorca, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europediaries.com\/\">Europe Diaries<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flippermuzeum.hu\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pinball Museum<\/a>, Hungary<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Location:<\/strong> A short walk from Budapest-Nyugati train station in Budapest<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>The main attraction:<\/strong> Play unlimited rounds of pinball on any of the 130 retro machines<\/li>\n<li><strong>Entry fee:<\/strong> Around \u20ac8 for unlimited gaming<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joy is doubled when it\u2019s shared, isn\u2019t it?
