Questions about visiting Berlin (Blu Rays and other stuff) - Blu-ray Forum

No not these guys:

I mean Berlin, the place.

I'm heading there soon and had a couple of questions someone might be able to help answer.

1) Is there anywhere in Berlin airport (when leaving Germany) to buy Blu Ray/4K discs at all? Just wondered if it's worth a browse. Also I'm looking for a few SanDisk 1tb microSD cards (Extreme Pro) for my Steam Deck and DAP, does Berlin airport have a good tax free shopping area in the airport?

2) I'm in the middle of Ironman triathlon training for my next race, so I'm hoping to get a run in at some point before I have to leave. I was hoping to run through the Brandenberg Gate, because that's once in a lifetime stuff and such a historic site. Is the gate shut off at all or is there a toll to pay or some sort of fee to get through? Is it only open at certain times? I was hoping to run through early morning (say 5 or 6am-ish). I've about an 8km, maybe 10km run loop planned which passes through it and hope it's possible!

3) Where is the museum with all the Fritz Lang stuff in it? I would LOVE to see the Metropolis robot costume. I've heard it's there on display. Is it far? Easy to get to? I won't have a great deal of time, but hope I can get to see it.

4) I think I am not going to be far from Checkpoint Charlie, so I hope to see that. Is it easy to get to any fragments of the Berlin Wall? I'd like to see it if I can. I remember watching live on telly when the wall came down and people climbed over.

5) Any tourist traps to avoid?

6) Best places to get proper, decent coffee (no, not Starbucks, Costa, Nero or any other mainstream garbage) and not a cup of loose, watery stools?

7) What time is best to put my towel on a sunlounger by the pool? 12:01am? 12:00:01am?

Thanks!
