We had to wait in a huge queue to get into the musuem which gave me the impression it would be worth the wait- well I was wrong. It was overpriced for a start! I loved the British Musuem in London (FREE by the way!), but the Pergamon did nothing for me. One or two of the attractions were impressive... more

The Pergamon museum in Berlin is a ‘must do’. We were so impressed with the location - on an island in the historical centre surrounded by magnificent period buildings (mostly from Schinkel). All the exhibits are wonderfully presented. Being able to walk the steps of the Pergamon alter and follow the processional way through the Ishtar gate was fantastic. We... more

''We really enjoyed our visit to this outstanding museum. Firstly the price - only EUR 10,- I think this is very reasonable. The Altar, the Ishtar gate, the processional way - beautifully displayed with a real effort to show all in the grandeur with which they once stood. In parts we really felt like we were transported back in time.... more

For the 3 rooms featuring the Byzentine castle, Roman market , and Greek temple (Pergamon) alone, this is one of the most amazingly impressive museums I have ever visited. The size and scale of these displays is stunning. more

If you like Greek history, gods etc then this is a must. We intended to spend just over an hour inside and emerged almost four hours later. And all for €10. Superb. more

Even if, like me, you live in a big city and think you have already pretty much been to the best museums in the world (London, Paris, New York), make sure you go to this one! The Pergamon Altar and Ishtar Gate are absolute must sees, and the 30 minutes audio highlights tour means that even if you only have... more

While the artifacts in the Pergamon were interesting, the museum is fairly small though still quite pricey. Also, on a very hot day, it is completely not air conditioned or ventilated in any way, making it physically painful to spend time in it. Also, do not pass on the recorded explanations, as the displays include little to no information. more

This museum houses a number of displays but not to be missed is the Pergamon Alter, dedicated to Zeus and built around the 2nd century, and the Istar Gate, which was commissioned by King Nebuchadnezzar II. This Gate was part of the "Walls of Babylon" and was considered as one of the original seven wonders of the world. It was... more

I love going to museums and this is far and away, just about the best one ever. Previous reviewers have already said it all, so I can't add much new, except to add my suggestion that people allow enough time to really take it all in and not rush through. This is a museum that you will still be raving... more
