Amazing place. A lot of museums. A lot of art and history artifact. Yo can spent the whole day here. Convenient one ticket for all museums. Restaurants were good. Museums were closed one from another. Not a lot of people in September. Caring staff.

All five museums are amazing. We find Pergamon Museum the most underwhelmed because everyone gives such great review so expectation was high. Part of the museum was closed, even though the Babylon section was pretty, there wasn’t too much content in rest of the museum. Love Bode both the building and exhibition. The other three museums are nice. The museum island pass is a steal for its price. Be sure to book a time slot during busy tourist season.

Lots of historic buildings (free to view from the outside). Crowded in the summer but spacious enough for this not to be too much of a problem. Probably the most impressive part of Berlin to visit because there are so many architecturally interesting buildings in one area. Allow at least 90 minutes to explore. Good (free) toilet at the new extension of Deutsches Historiches museum. Easy walk to Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag (along Unter den Linden). Or head the opposite way to see the TV tower up close.

We stumbled across Museum Island as we walked to our train station for the return to our ship. We had seen it in the map but didn’t know what it was. It’s very impressive housing museums and Berlin Cathedral. Definitely recommend a visit

I used Staatliche Museen zu Berlin website to buy the tickets. Select Combined Tickets - Museum Island + Panorama regular for 19 euros (this gives you access to all of the Museum Island museums listed below for one day) Timeline to get it done in one day: 10:00 Altes Museum (This one does NOT require a time slot reservation) 11:15 Neues Museum (Requires a time slot reservation) 13:15 Pergamon Museum (Requires a time slot reservation) 15:00 Alte National Galerie (Requires a time slot reservation) 16:15 Pergamon Das Panorama (Requires a time slot reservation) 17:00 Bode Museum (This one does NOT require a time slot reservation) Once you buy the one day ticket go to tickets and reserve times as shown above for the ones requiring time slots reservation. Select: time slot reservation (valid in combination with a museum island ticket) 0 euros. Time reservations are free with your 19 euros one day ticket. Bring water and snack. No time to do lunch. Enjoy

I'd place this visit as top priority to all visitors of Berlin. You could easily devote a full day to absorbing the artwork, artifacts and amazing architecture that makes up the museums on this island. Bring a good pair of walking shoes, lots of energy, some water and perhaps a small lunch. Lots of unexpected surprises and breathtaking exhibits to admire. If you have time to visit more than one museum, there is a ticket available for €19 each to allow admission to multiple museums, please note booking visit times in advance is recommended to avoid disappointment.

Worth getting a hotel nearby because you can spend several days walking around these museums, and it's nice to start and finish close by. Note: Museums are busy and generally don't open until 10am. Several are closed Monday; the Humboldt Forum is open. Note: Not worth it to get the 3-day pass, because you'll probably need timed entry tickets to the museums, and I (at least) couldn't figure out how to get a timed-entry reservation without having to also buy a ticket. Note: Bode abuts other buildings but you have to leave the island to access it. Note: Pergamon supposed to be closed for the next 8 years, except for the separate gallery abjoining the Neues Museum. Note: for a fun chronological arrangement of subject material, start with the Altes Museum, then the Neues Museum and the Bode-Museum. Note: museums are good to very good individually, having them together makes for excellent experience

This Unesco heritage site features a lot of remarkable places, including the famous Berlin cathedral with the famous architect and panoramic view terrace, Altas (old) Museum and Neues (new) museum, Bode museum, and more galleries. This place is a must-visit for anyone even if you are not a museum person, you still can take wonderful photos of the buildings along the river. . I recommend getting the museum pass online in advance which allows you 3 days of free entry to most museums ( Berlin Cathedral is not included)

Definitely do this if you like art and architecture. A stroll through the area is a must. I was only visiting for a few days so didn’t have the time to visit all the museums but loved walking around and taking in the architecture and the surrounding areas. We walked through the arts market which was pretty amazing, sadly only open at the weekend

Lots of the main museums all together which masked a good whole day visit. Some local cafes and a street may on some days to give a break. Get the combined day ticket but don’t forget to book individual times for entry into the main museums. The ticket website is a bit confusing.
