Five world-class museums clustered on a single island in the river Spree, this is the cultural jewel of Berlin, home to the Pergamon's ancient wonders and the famous bust of Nefertiti.

The three-day Museum Pass is the clever way in if you plan to visit several, covering these plus dozens more across the city. We'll tell you which of the five to prioritise if your time is short.
