If you have little time in Berlin then, after Brandenburg gate you must head to Museum Island. It houses five museums and also the famous Berlin Cathedral. The Alexander Platz is just next door. It is now connected to Brandenburg Tor through a Metro. In vicinity their are plenty of restaurants and bars to enjoy and relax.

Several large museums, green spaces, tourist and welcoming corners

Due to time constraints, all I could do was enjoy the buildings and you can definitely do that on foot. Buildings that were created in the spirit and service of the building, with soul and message. It's wonderful to walk along these streets where history was lived and experienced. In spring it is not so crowded and you can still see everything and breathe and look at it with awe and enjoy. That's how I like big cities... Thank you Berlin

This island contains important landmarks and museums. Easy to reach it and to have a walk around. The museums are usually fully booked so it is recommended to buy tickets in advance.

Went around the museums via boat ride. Very fascinating!

Amazing place!

Amazing place to chill and meet history art and much more. It was cold so i guess in summer it would be better. A must go to in Berlin

I was amazed at the size of this place with its museums. This is also one of Berlin’s attractions and if you have time, I would recommend going inside the museums to see the interesting historical collection of various items. Not sure if you can take photos inside, but there are plenty of great scenes outside where you can take really nice and amazing photos. The place is easily accessible by transport U Bahn Museumsinsel. However, on a fine day, you can walk from Potsdam Platz where you can see remains of the Berlin Wall, you can walk all the way to the Museum Island.

It is a place surrounded by canals, where many important museums are located. All museums are very close to each other.

Incredible museums, another must if you’re visiting Germany! The history and amount of statues, relics, and paintings they have is some of the largest in the world. Roman and Greek statues, were by far the best part. Berlin Dome was equally incredible. Beware you can by an all-in-one ticket for all museums which can save you a lot of money! Cafes in the museums were great too. Very walkable as well.

Located in the heart of Berlin, Museum Island (Museumsinsel) is home to some of the world's most famous museums. The island boasts five museums, each offering a unique perspective on art, history, and culture. The museums include the Pergamon Museum, the Bode Museum, the Alte Nationalgalerie, the Neues Museum and the Altes Museum. It is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in art and history. The museums are housed in beautiful buildings, with exhibits ranging from ancient Egyptian art to contemporary art. Visitors can easily spend a whole day exploring the island and its museums. The area is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A really cool place to visit for some art and culture. Several ways to get there but might be easier with bus so you don’t have to deal with parking. Prices are fair but check online and look out for offer or special days/times when you can see them all for free.

Lovely architecture. Some of these museums had sections of free exhibits too! You might want to book your tickets early if you have specific exhibitions you want to check out. You can easily spend a whole day around this area if you enjoy visiting museums.

A delight to walk around and visit its museums.

Very beautiful architecture and lively atmosphere. Nice grassed area to sit and enjoy the view with lots of talented artists performing music and other shows. Tip: the first Sunday of every month is free to visit all museums but I would recommend booking online prior otherwise there will be a few hours waiting time or fully booked! I visited the Pergamon Musuem before it will be closed for renovations. Would definitely recommend. Very close to the island is some markets with some beautiful art and other goodies to buy or just admire.

3 stars only because it's not for everybody, it's an impressive collection but everything and everyone was in complete silence making it uncomfortable to look and share impressions if you are not alone. There's nothing interactive at all in the museum and after seeing 70% of everything, we just left because at the time all sculptures/paintings/objects were about religion christianity. There are lots of young people making studies about pieces as well. So it's definitely a place to study and reflect. Don't expect any tiny drop of fun. Nonetheless visit anyways, at least you can say, "i was there!"

One of the most iconic places in Berlin. All the most important museums are located here and very beautiful cannal view. Definitely recommend to visit if you want to enjoy the day of visiting museums

Good visiting place for tourists... Nice view with the canal beside..there is a cruise available for 12 euro just next to the building... A must visit in Berlin.... very close to the Alexanderplatz ...Cheers

(Translated by Google) If these 5 museums took 100 years to build, how long does it take to see all this beauty? The question, of course, is rhetorical! The stars of the best Berlin museums on the northern part of the Spreeinsel Island on the Spree River represent 6 millennia of history. Since 1999, this complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you will find the Bode Museum, the Pergamon Museum, the Old National Gallery, the Old Museum and the New Museum. In 1797, the Prussian king Friedrich Wilhelm II supported the idea of ​​creating a museum on the Spreeinsel for antique collections and art of those centuries. In 1810, King Frederick Wilhelm III moved this noble cause off the ground. In the Old Museum, it is interesting to look at the Antique collection: weapons, sculptures, gold and silver jewelry from the collection of ancient Greek art. The New Museum houses a collection of papyri and an exposition of the Egyptian Museum, as well as exhibits from the Museum of Primitive and Early History of the Early Eras. In the Old Gallery, opened in 1876, you can see works of painting and sculpture of the 19th century (from the French Impressionists to the Nazarians who painted in Rome). Museum Island is connected to Berlin's shores by the Monbijou pedestrian bridge, which runs directly in front of the Bode Museum with its memorable dome. By the way, the famous Museum Island Bridge, only recently restored after the war, is called the Bridge to the Past. (Original) Если эти 5 музеев строили 100 лет, то сколько же времени надо, чтобы увидеть всю эту красоту? Вопрос, конечно, риторический! Звёзды лучших берлинских музеев на северной части острова Шпрееинзель на реке Шпрее представляют 6 тысячелетий истории. С 1999 года этот комплекс во Всемирном наследии ЮНЕСКО. Тут и Музей Боде, и Пергамский музей, и Старая национальная галерея, Старый музей и Новый музей. В 1797 году прусский король Фридрих Вильгельм II поддержал идею о создании на Шпрееинзель музея для античных коллекций и искусства тех веков. В 1810 году король Фридрих Вильгельм III сдвинул это благородное дело с мертвой точки. В Старом музее интересно глянуть на Античную коллекцию: оружие, скульптуры, золотые и серебряные украшения из собрания древнегреческого искусства. В Новом музее - собрание папирусов и экспозицию Египетского музея, а также экспонаты Музея первобытной и ранней истории ранних эпох. В Старой галерее, открытой в 1876 году, смотрите произведения живописи и скульптуры 19 века (от французских импрессионистов до фресок назарийцев, которые творили в Риме). Музейный остров соединен с берлинскими берегами пешеходным мостом Монбижу, который проходит прямо перед музеем Боде с запоминающимся куполом. Кстати, знаменитый мост Музейного острова, только недавно восстановленный после войны, называют мостом в прошлое.

(Translated by Google) This is architecture cool (Original) Das Ist Architektur Geil

Thats really the beuty of Berlin! Even if you dont want to enter any of the buildings its still a great place to make your eyes happy and took brilliant photos!

With the reunification of the two Germanys in 1990, it became possible to reunite the collection, which had been divided into east and west since 1945. Museum Island has been on UNESCO's World Heritage List since 1999.

Museum Island is a concentration of art and culture that is unparalleled. A must see for any art lover!"

The Museum Island in Berlin is as a whole a magnificent work of art: Five world-famous buildings that make up the museums from the time of the Prussian monarchs and the modern James Simon Gallery. This complex is made up of the Pergamon Museum (which is closed 🔒 for restoration), Bode Museum, Neus Museum, The Old National Gallery and the Altes Museum. There is a great atmosphere in its surroundings, with a market every Sunday and nearby is the Berlin Cathedral.

Very nice vibe. Beautiful place. You can go in the evening.

Absolutely idyllic. Unbeatable in summer time.

It's awesome

Absolutely must visit . It has many museums surrounded by restaurants and shopping area. Very nice management. Beautiful place to see and walk. It holds historical importance of Berlin and also about different cultures and its evolution with time

(Translated by Google) This island includes several huge and interconnected museum buildings. Inside we can find "buildings", paintings, statues and objects famous in Western culture of any era. You pay a single ticket, or a choice, and generally it takes about half a day + the time of the adjacent museums. On this island there is also the cathedral, mediocre for cleanliness but aesthetically interesting. I highly recommend visiting the place and in case of need there are some bars, restaurants and cloisters in the surroundings. The museum includes a department store for storing items such as bags and coats (Original) Quest'isola comprende vari edifici di musei enormi e collegati tra loro. Al loro interno possiamo trovare "edifici", dipinti, statue e oggetti famosissimi nella cultura occidentale di qualsiasi epoca. Si paga un biglietto unico, o a scelta, e in genere ci si mette circa mezza giornata+ il tempo dei musei adiacenti. Su Quest'isola vi è anche il duomo, mediocre per la pulizia ma interessante esteticamente. Consiglio vivamente di visitare il luogo e in caso di bisogno ci sono alcuni bar, ristoranti e chiostri nei d'intorni. Il museo comprende un grande magazzino per lasciarci dentro gli oggetti come borse e cappotti

Culture is breathed. (Original) Que lugar!!! Património da humanidade desde 1990, foi concebido para ser dedicado as artes e as ciências!

WOW!! A place worth to visit! You will lear all history in couple hours.

(Translated by Google) I was especially taken with the Pergamon Museum. Every time I am in Berlin it gets the obligatory visit, my fallibility. It has a lot to experience, almost palpable, like the reliefs in the Zona de Entrada or the rotunda with a view from the Acropolis. (Original) Vor allem das Pergamonmuseum hat es mir angetan. Immer wieder, wenn ich in Berlin bin bekommt es den obligatorischen Besuch, meiner Fehlbarkeit. Es hat sehr viel Erfahrbares, fast spürbar, wie die Reliefs in der Zona de Entrada oder der Rotunde mit Blick von der Akropolis aus.

(Translated by Google) Nice architecture. Who cares about that should bring a lot of time. Unfortunately too many construction sites at the moment. (Original) Schöne Architektur. Wem sowas interessiert sollte viel Zeit mitbringen. Aktuell leider zu viele Baustellen.

(Translated by Google) Essential visit, either to visit its museums or just to stroll through both spectacular building. If you do not have enough time to visit several museums, from our point of view we would opt for the Pergamon Museum (Original) Imprescindible visita, ya sea para visitar sus museos como únicamente para pasear entre tanto espectacular edificio. Si no dispone de tiempo suficiente para visitar varios museos, desde nuestro punto de vista nos decantaríamos por el Museo de Pérgamo

from museumsinsel U bahn station these major attractions are walking distance from each other!! beautiful architectures

The entire island is unesco land, quite worth the visit, especially on weekends because they have markets selling art, handicraft, books and vcds. The entire island is also very scenic, housing 6 museums. Definitely a must-go if you visit Berlin. Museums open around 11am and some open at 10am. It is good to go early and walk around, even better for photos because there are not many people in the morning.

Fantastic!

A must see while visiting Berlin!! You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing place to visit with many museums and beautiful views.

You MUST go to the museum island to see the museums or just grab a beer and enjoy the sun in the gardens outside!

a nice stroll around the island is a must. there are people playing instruments, taking wedding pictures, having a picnic, and basically doing anything possible in an open space.

It is one of the most visited sights of Germany's capital and one of the most important museum sites in Europe. Built from 1830 to 1930 by order of the Prussian Kings according to plans by five architects, Museum Island was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999 because of its testimony to the architectural and cultural development of museums in the 19th and 20th centuries. It consists of the Altes Museum, the Neues Museum, the Alte Nationalgalerie, the Bode-Museum and the Pergamonmuseum.

It's beautiful

Different types of art into you in one day. It was an unforgettable experience!!

I recommend visiting, it has a lot of history, a beautiful place

Great atmosphere with an outdoor musician and a chill crowd

A very interesting place. There are many museums to choose from.

Fairytale-like

A good place for a cultural stroll in downtown Berlin. As a World Heritage Site, recognized by UNESCO, the island is home to many works of art from the Orient. The Prussian Cultural Heritage manages the heritage and amazes visitors.

It would be easy to spend a month here looking at everything! Spoiled for choice! Galleries, museums, Christmas markets and historic architecture. We would love to return to take it at a leisurely pace.

There is a lot to see in the Humboldt Forum. The castle is worth looking at. The castle cellar and the roof terrace, as well as the video panorama, should not be missed.

Beautiful place, large green space in which to walk peacefully or stop for a snack after visiting the museums (price €14 for the Pergamom; €12 for the other individual museums, €24 to see them all in one day). If you are a university student you get a 50% discount (we took the one to see them all and saved a lot).

Amazing architecture and the museums themselves are filled with history. They are refurbished enough though to look beautiful on the inside and to house other artwork and history related pieces. There is a pretty garden outside as well to enjoy the nice weather in the summer.

👍🏻

Gorgeous museum. I really liked the numismatic department with 2-thousand-year coins

We cannot share this experience, it is wonderful, no words, no images can replace in our brain what we see in Berlin museums. You have to see, feel and appreciate all that these museums offer us.

love the museum island!!! A great place to walk around, especially in summer, lots of restaurants

Great, not just the museum but also the explanations and everything else. Please continue. Would give more stars, but unfortunately only 5 are shown. It's a 10

Beautiful place ✨🌟💫

Ancient Greek and Roman culture, you can imagine why it is a must-go place. Pitty I couldn't visit the Pergamon Museum due to renovation. Hope they will finish sooner than they say! Visit every Museum in the island, you will understand, that it was the right thing to do! There is a cheap ticket to see all of them, google it.

Must visit places in Berlin , especially if you like history

Be sure to visit the Museum Island in Berlin, a truly impressive place with a wealth of art, history and architecture.

There are so many museums around this place, even just looking at them and taking pictures from outside itself is treat to tourists.

very good place

Very nice location .. must seen

Fantastic

Five stunning museums located very close to each other. If you go to Berlin this is a must see location. Plan for all day!!

Worth visiting. There is combo tickets to visit all museums

Museuminsel ist ein schönes Gelände mit eindrucksvollen Bauten. So thront der Berliner Dom in der Mitte und ringsrum geben sich Museen zu ihrem Besten. Die einzelnen Parks sind auch super zum ausruhen. Eine angenehme Umgebung.

(Translated by Google) I recommend it. Beautiful place. (Original) Oj polecam. Cudowne miejsce.

Amazing place to visit don t miss it

Museum Island further comprises the Lustgarten park and the Berlin Cathedral. Between the Bode and Pergamon Museums it is crossed by the Stadtbahn railway viaduct. The adjacent territory to the south is the site of the former royal and imperial Berlin Palace and the Palace of the Republic. The Prussian collections became separated during the Cold War during the division of the city, but were reunited after German reunification, except for some art and artefacts removed after World War II by Allied troops. These include the Priam's Treasure, also called the gold of Troy, excavated by Heinrich Schliemann in 1873, then smuggled out of Turkey to Berlin and smuggled out of Germany to Moscow. Today it is kept at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. As for the city's major museums, it took much of the 1990s for a consensus to emerge that Museum Island's buildings should be restored and modernized, with General Director Wolf-Dieter Dube's cautious plan for their use finally approved in January 1999. Then, six months later, Peter-Klaus Schuster took over and set in motion a far more ambitious program intended to turn Museum Island into a Louvre on the Spree.[3] The federal government pledged $20 million a year through 2010 for projects to enhance Berlin's prestige and Unesco declaring the island a World Heritage Site.

best place

(Translated by Google) It’s beautiful, even if you don’t visit the museum, you can still take landscape photos. If you are serious about visiting the museum, you can stroll here for 3 or 4 days. If you buy a museum package, the tunnels between the museums are actually connected, which is very convenient. (Original) 很美，就算不去參觀博物館，也可以拍拍景觀照。 如果認真參觀博物館，光是這裡就可以逛個3、4天。有買博物館套票的話，各個博物館之間的地道其實是相連的，很方便。

Full of historical things

(Translated by Google) Cool place, typically recreational. On the river bank we see the Berlinerdom and of course the new museum next door ... (Original) Fajne miejsce , typowo rekreacyjne . Nad rzeką widzimy stąd Berlinerdom no i oczywiście nowe muzeum obok ...

(Translated by Google) Always worth a visit. The exhibitions vary, but the establishment is world class. (Original) Immer wieder einen Besuch wert. Die Ausstellungen varieren, das Etablissement ist jedoch weltklasse.

Amazing buildings. Unfortunately some are closed for visits because of Coronavirus. Still worth a visit around it

(Translated by Google) nice ambience, very interesting exhibitions, not too crowded (Original) schönes Ambiente, sehr ineteressante Ausstellungen, nicht zu überfüllt

(Translated by Google) Great compilation of many different exhibitions, there is something for everyone. Employees very friendly and humorous, even if you accidentally trigger the alarm ?

Excellent audio guide You can hand in bags and jackets everywhere. Overall, highly recommended (Original) Tolle Zusammenstellung vieler unterschiedlicher Ausstellungen, da ist für jeden etwas dabei.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, temporarily closed until April 19, 2020 on the Spree, here are the great treasures of Europe, which will soon be supplemented with the treasures of world cultures in the Humboldt Forum in the newly built city palace opposite Schinkel's "Old Museum". Architect Sir David Chipperfield planned the networking of the museums as a master plan via the central James Simon Gallery, which was built as an entrance building in 2013. In the base of the colonnade aisle gastronomy & museum shop. Everything cannot be done in one day, just going through is of no use. I recommend the inexpensive 3-day ticket (also valid for other museums, 2020: 29 € / reduced 14.50 €)! You need time, a lot of time, curiosity and interest: Education helps as a basis for understanding and for the experience. Because you only see what you know! Guided tours or audio guides are helpful. (Original) Leider vorübergehend wohl bis 19.4.2020 geschlossenes Weltkulturerbe an der Spree, hier sind die großartigen Schätze Europas, die ergänzt werden mit den Schätzen der Weltkulturen bald im Humboldt-Forum im neu erbauten Stadtschloss gegenüber von Schinkels "Altem Museum". Architekt Sir David Chipperfield plante die Vernetzung der Museen als Masterplan über die zentrale James-Simon-Galerie, die seit 2013 als Eingangsbau entstand. Im Sockel des Kolonnaden-Gangs Gastronomie & Museums-Laden. Alles ist nicht an einem Tag zu schaffen, einfach durchlaufen bringt nichts. Die günstige 3-Tageskarte empfehle ich (auch für andere Museen gültig, 2020: 29 €/ermäßigt 14,50 €)! Man braucht Zeit, viel Zeit, Neugier und Interesse: Bildung hilft als Grundlage für das Verständnis und für das Erlebnis. Denn man sieht nur, was man weiß! Hilfreich sind Führungen oder Audioguides.

(Translated by Google) I am always thrilled with the great cultural offers here. It makes Berlin fascinating and magical ? (Original) Ich bin jedes mal begeistert, was für tolle kulturelle Angebote hier gibt's. Es macht Berlin fasziniert und magisch ?

Beautiful architecture

Great for history.

Cool place to take some awesome pictures!

Beautiful architecture! I loved going there at night

Good place to visit if you are interested in museums, but better if you do a reservation and getting time slots.

One of the most important experiences one may have.

Went on a Monday, all museums were closed. Spent a calm afternoon on the steps of the old museum. Loved it!

I just love this place. So lively with all these people sitting on the grass and enjoying Berlin.

Magnificent Berlin Dom! Just Maintenance needs $18million

Museum Island (German: Museumsinsel) is a museum complex with an area of ​​exactly 1 square kilometer located in the northern part of a small island on the Spree River, which passes through the Mitte district of Berlin, the capital of Germany.

Don’t visit mondays, closed.

A very beautiful island, especially at night. I have been to many museums, it was interesting to listen to the guides! I liked the Pergamon Museum. The exhibits were very realistic, I recommend taking a walk around this island with friends or family.
