Am Kupfergraben 3, 10178 Berlin , Germany
What to expect
The Bode Museum: A magnificent "water castle", captivating visitors right from its impressive equestrian statue in the glorious entrance hall—even before stepping into its outstanding collections of Byzantine art, sculptures, and coins.
Pergamonmuseum
The Pergamon Museum: A world-famous museum—and currently an equally famous construction site. As the youngest of the pre-war buildings on Museum Island, it will once again dazzle visitors upon reopening with unique monuments such as the Pergamon Altar, the Market Gate of Miletus, and the Ishtar Gate.
A fascinating "substitute" for the closed Pergamon Museum: Here, you can learn all about the history of the Pergamon Altar and explore a captivating exhibition dedicated to this iconic monument.
The Berlin Cathedral: A monumental church and architectural masterpiece that sparked both admiration and controversy at the time of its construction.
The New, Old Palace: Discover its controversial history, remarkable architecture, and the museums it now houses.
The Old National Gallery: An impressive temple of art, home to 19th-century masterpieces ranging from Romanticism to Impressionism.
The architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel's masterpiece: The former 'Royal Museum'—Prussia's first purpose-built museum, designed to make art accessible to the people.
The New Museum: An architectural masterpiece, beautifully restored after the destruction of World War II. Its fascinating collection includes the world-famous bust of Nefertiti—a highlight of ancient art that adds to the unique charm of this museum.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
