  • If you are into museum and you are in Berlin, Altes Museum is a 'must see'. From the outside is the greek styled theme similar to the Roman Pantheon in Acropolis Greece, thus creating an extensive collection of Greek and Roman antiquities. Just out in the centre of the museum is the giant bowl carved out of a single piece of stone. This Rose Bowl act as a centrepiece and was built by famous Berlin artisans. The museum is situated on the Museum Island or Museumsinsel in Am Lustgarten. It is amazing that after it was burned down during the Second World War, Altes Museum still looks wonderful after it was rebuilt in the 60s and reopened in 1966. It is considered the third oldest museum in Germany and Berlin's oldest in particular. On the inside, I will let you museum lovers to see for yourself and appreciate the city's collection of classical antiquities

    Things To Do: Berliner Dom

  • You can see in the photos, the Berlin Cathedral or the Berliner Dom. It was built in ten years time between 1895 & 1905.

    You will be able to visit the Berliner Dom as it is open everyday. You will experience the very interesting interior decoration which is unique most especially the magnificent Sauer's Organ and the stained glass designs.

    If you want to experience and see the interior of the Berliner Dom, guided tours will be available on site.

    Things To Do: Neptune Fountain

  • If you are in Berlin, spend few minutes visiting this statue. When exiting the nearby Underground train station, you may be able to see a very old Gothic redbrick, Marienkirche.
    At the centre of the park across the Marienkirche, a Neptunbrunnen or the Neptune Fountain is definitely an amazing scene. Just by looking at the bronze statue is entertaining and attractive in any angle with Neptune on top holding his trident. You will see Neptune in the photo I posted here with one of the four female symbolic nymphs. All of the four femaile statues were sitting on four sides of the fountain.

     I'll be traveling to Berlin in November, Freddie, so I'm glad you mentioned validating one's ticket--that must have been embarrassing when you were taken off the train!! Glad it didn't ruin your visit...
