Palaces and Museums

With over 200 museums, collections, galleries and archives, Berlin offers a cultural variety rivaled by few other cities. A broad palette of painting, local history, technology, and everyday culture is at your disposal. Take advantage of allowing a professional tour guide to introduce you to some of the highlights, rather than attempting that feat on your own. Berlin is constantly changing and on the move. One of the city's pearls, the Pergamon Museum (opened in 1930), attracts close to a million visitors each year! I have lead thousands of visitors through that awe-inspiring institution.
