Why you should go: Museum Island, an ensemble of five museums on an island in the River Spree, is one of the highlights of European cultural tourism.
Don’t miss: Nefertiti in the Neues Museum. The bust is regarded as the world’s most beautiful female sculpture, but go and see for yourself. Next door, in the Pergamon Museum, you may get goose bumps when you walk through the monumental Ishtar Gate with its brilliant cobalt blue tiles and lion reliefs.
Extra tip: Enjoy some coffee and cake at the café in the dome of the Bode Museum. You can admire the statue of the “Great Elector” on horseback as he gazes up at you.
