I'm not sure anything could have prepared us for the immensity of the Pergamon Temple and the Ishtar Gate. The audio guide is included with admission and is great. I'd recommend buying a museum pass and visiting several of the more than 50 museums in Berlin. More

Unfortunately, the city seems to be in a state of complete reconstruction so even the museums are surrounded by scaffolding and heavy machinery. Make sure you are there before opening hours (10 am) as the lineups grow very fast and long. More

Ancient structures are rebuilt in this museum, making it a fascinating place to visit. You don't see just bits and pieces of columns and marble but the whole thing reconstructed. The Islamic section is one of the best I've seen. More

Pergamon museum is one of most interesting museums the city has to offer in the area of the museum island. All the Greek antiquities that you can see can travel you to that area and that time. Well organized and if you get one ticket for the whole museum island the price is very reasonable More

You must NOT leave Berlin without seeing the Pergamon altar, the Ishtar Gate of Babylon and the Roman market gates. Left us speechless. More
