There is no shortage of things to do in Berlin. I’ve already talked about my enthusiasm for markets in an earlier post, but I have another favourite place that I like to visit in the city. Museum Island (Museum Insel). Yesterday, I spent a cloudy afternoon visiting the spectacular Neues Museum! It’s one of five museums that make up Museum Island (there is also the Altes Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie, Bode Museum and Pergamon Museum). Inside the Neues Museum are numerous exhibits with stunning artifacts that showcase the development of early civilizations from the Stone Age to Egyptian, Greek and Roman times. The newly-opened third floor as some great information about early Berlin too! It’s so interesting to learn about how other civilizations lived thousands of years ago!

Tip: If you are going to be living in Berlin for more than one year, buy a museum pass. It costs 50 euros and you get free admission into 11 city museums including all from Museum Island for one year. It’s already been worth it for me! I spend so long wandering through the exhibits and looking at the artifacts that it’ll take me many more trips to complete all of the museums!

Cheers,
