Museum Island
UNESCO World Heritage site with five world-class museums: Pergamon, Neues Museum, Altes Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie, Bode-Museum.
Museum Island gathers five world-class houses in a tight space and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It pays to pick one or two museums in advance — seeing everything in a day is barely possible. Timed tickets help avoid queues.
The island lies between the Lustgarten and Berlin Cathedral, within walking distance of Unter den Linden and Hackescher Markt. S-Bahn (Hackescher Markt) and tram take you right there.
