Before You Book the Neues Museum: Every Cost, and What's Worth It
The Neues Museum, home to the bust of Nefertiti, is the busiest museum on Berlin's Museum Island now that the main Pergamon building is closed. There's the single ticket, the Museum Island day ticket, free entry for under-18s, audio guides and the Berlin Museum Pass. Most of them sound worth paying for. You don't need the most expensive one to have a great visit. In this guide we walk through what each option costs, what you really get, and how to choose the right one, whether that's a quiet 10 am or a packed afternoon in the Nefertiti room.
