      Museum Guide Berlin 2015 - Claudia Stein

      1 The Maps

      In this book, you will only find links to online maps from Google. The links to Google Maps comply with Google’s terms of use. Showing these maps in the book would not be legal. You can print or downloaded them to a smart phone, for example. This also facilitates route planning.

      2 Good to know!

      2.1 Public Transport

      On the website of the Berlin transport company (http://www.bvg.de), you can see how to reach your destination by public transport. It might be easier to use Google Maps if you decide to navigate through the museums with the help of the maps I listed for smart phones. A good app is moovit, it operates in several languages and uses very little data volume. 

      2.2 Welcome-Card & Museum’s Pass

      The so-called „Welcome-Card" combines public transport with the entrance to several museums. It also contains discount vouchers for shops and restaurants. The card is sold in hotels, the official tourist information centers and at the box office of the participating museums. For more information, please visit http://shop.visitberlin.de/

      2.3 Payments

      Many foreign tourists are quite astounded that credit card payment is rarely offered in Germany. And most of the time, only the German debit card is accepted. Make sure you have enough cash on you before you get in the line of the box office.

      2.4 Free entrance

      All public museums are free of charge for minors (up to 18 years of age). These museums are labeled Staatliche Museen Berlin – SMB.

      Berlin is a special place for many reasons, and this is reflected in the local cultural offer. The city has always been attracting artists, and the number of art museums is noteworthy. Equally remarkable is the number of history museums. Post-war Germany came to terms with German history and made an honest effort not to sweep anything under the rug and present it as it was; from Bismarck to WW I, Nazi's era, WW II, division of Germany, reunification… each subject seems to have
