Excellent informative city tour with Jake. Wish we had been able to do this earlier on our visit. Jake held our attention throughout the tour with his knowledge of the history of the city.

Great way to learn about the city. Our guide (Jake) was very clearly extremely knowledgeable and was very engaging with the group. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

It is easy to book an entry ticket online and then I arrive at Trabi Museum by U Bahn. I did enjoy looking around the Trabi Museum and also watching the film about the Trabant 601.

Neue Nationalgalerie

The Neue Nationalgalerie at the Berlin Kulturforum is a world-class architectural icon from the mind of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969), built to house 20th-century art. A major refurbishment was carried out during the late 2010s to bring the ‘60s-era building up to modern standards. The column-free “universal space” is a classic of modernism and serves as the perfect location for works from European and North American masters like Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí, Francis Bacon, and Andy Warhol, amongst many others. Some of the museum’s most famous works are Potsdamer Platz by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, The Skat Players by Otto Dix, and Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue IV by Barnett Newman. A rotating calendar of special exhibitions also takes place in the Neue Nationalgalerie, so keep an eye out for their latest offerings.
