Review of Berlin’s Jewish Museum, a free, moving visit covering Jewish life, history, architecture, exhibitions, practical tips, and value.

“A must see in Berlin. My friend and I went to the museum not really knowing what to expect and we were blown away. The creativity in the architecture, use of light and interactive parts really took it to another level. We both were close to tears on several occasions after reading the memoirs. Would highly recommend.”

“It was a great museum. It has a ton of artifacts as well as current items. One was a car from a woman and her family fleeing Ukraine! I am not sure how anyone survived that but the museum let's us know that we are not over the Cold War. The Wall may be down, but the issues are still present.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 2,007 reviews · from $27

Review of Berlin’s Museum Island ticket, covering five museums, Nefertiti, ancient art, opening hours, value, queues, and planning tips.

“The factory was not as original as I imagined. However we had a good tour guide. There are far more exhibits and photos than can be seen in the time allotted for the tour. So you might want to allow extra time to see more. The tour of the former ghetto area was by the same guide and she was excellent. There are still some buildings standing and a small section of the ghetto wall.”
