Beautiful Berlin: The City's Most Photogenic Sites

In a city with about 175 museums and galleries, you'll have plenty to do and explore. Set aside at least one day and head right to Museum Island so you can be in walking distance to 5 of them at once.  Museum Island is home to: Pergamon Museum, Bode Museum, Neues (where you can view the bust of Nefertiti), Alte Nationalgalerie (stop in to see Renoir's In Summer), and the Alte Museum.  

In addition, Museum Island itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and also home to the Berliner Dom, or Berlin Cathedral, the largest church in this historic city and overlooking the River Spree. If you like what you see, you can stay in a floating hostel on the River Spree.
