The Island and the buildings are a genuine tourist attraction , never mind the content of the individual buildings. A good view from a river cruise as well. Ensure you obtain the 3 day all Berlin museum ticket is a must for value to be achieved. (it can be used for entry to museums off the island as well )... More

if you have been to other European museums in Italy or France then you 'll be disappointed . Not very inspiring collections unless you want to see coins

Get a Museum pass, they are sold in days just choose whats right for you and don't miss out on the amazing sites. Research what each pass book offers and see whats on your list(s) to see and learn. I was blown away and forever touched by four museums and there are free " outdoor" museums all over as well.

This area of Berlin is, of course crowded. You need days to visit the various museums and Cathedral. You are able to buy reduced entrance tickets if you intend to visit them all. there are plenty of cafes in the vicinity to recharge your batteries

The island and the museums are very small and limited compared to louvre and the ones in London. But these are a lot grander. Worth a gist or sure

We stayed close by Museumsinsel and visited it several times, but still only felt like we scratched the surface. We bought a museum pass that got us admission to all of the museums (plus some off the island) for three days, and it was well worth the price. Must-sees include the Berliner Dom (the climb up is well worth the... More

If you like or love art, prepare to spend a few days at the various museums the Museum Island. One can purchase a multi-museum multi-day pass, or just go day by day. The Pergamon shouldn't be missed with the Ishtar Gate. The Alte National Gallerie offers many spectacular masterworks by German masters such as Feuerbach amongst many others. Audio-guide is... More

you must take a few days to see every museum but even if you dont go in, the location is stunning and we sat in the gardens (where Hitler gave a speech to over a million people and is now a beautifully-restored 19th century garden) enjoying the sun. All around you are magnificent buildings

sit on one of the benches. enjoy the view. take pictures. despite the several construction sites it was beautiful to walk through here and then also look down from the cathedral or check out one of the museums. as it's very central, you can go in any direction from here.
