If you go to Berlin, you have leave one day for the museum island, specially for this museum. You are going to love it!. We were a group of three and we took 3 to 4 hours. We payed for the museum pass, it'scompletely worth it. A good advice, be there early to buy the ticket, or buy it in... More

This is without doubt one of the finest museums I have visited. It includes some enormous architectural pieces such as the Pergamon Altar and the Gates of Babylon plus some other very rare and unusual pieces. It is quite a formal atmosphere but is well worth a visit.

The museum contains so many treasures and reconstructions of ancient times, breath taking! An idea for improvement: the audioguide numbering is not always visible in the different showrooms

Very illustativ and overwhelming. When you need to buy a ticket, go directly to the Museum and not the shed you find in the yard, so you can avoid the most queues.

This is a true step back in history, and well worth a visit. If you might never get a chance to visit an ancient city this is the next best thing.

Impressive archeological finds (Pergamon altar, Miletus Market Gate, Ishtar Gate, etc.). Clear and well-narrated audio guide at no extra cost. A must-see for history and culture buffs. Good learning experiences for children. Plus the free entrance for those below 18 is a plus. Budget at least two hours to properly appreciate it.

Must-see if you are in Berlin. Pergamon is like no other museum. It is unbelievable how many antique pieces of architecture they managed to put together there. The audio guide allows you to enjoy every attraction in your own time. You'll never be able to repeat the experience like this one.
