Five museums on one island in the middle of Berlin, a Mercedes collection in Stuttgart, the Green Vault in Dresden. These 15 tickets and guided visits are listed with prices, what each covers and whether the entry is timed.
Jewish Museum Berlin: symbolic Libeskind architecture, powerful Jewish history exhibits, free entry, and a useful audio app. Plan about 2 hours.
“Very interesting, though quite depressive. However, it is not the fault of the Museum but of the scary ideology and politics of the Nazi Germany.”
Step into East Germany at Berlin’s DDR Museum, with hands-on apartments, sensory exhibits, and a Trabant simulator, for a $15 ticket.
“Absolutely loved it, very informative and brought some childhood memories back.”
Skip-the-line timed entry to Berlin's Museum für Naturkunde with an audio guide, dinosaur hall, wet collection, and biodiversity wall.
“Such a fascinating museum just for the dinosaur part. Doesn’t like the real animals which have been killed to be stored there.”
Timed entry to Berlin’s Neues Museum with an audio guide, covering Egyptian, Prehistory, and Antique collections, including Nefertiti.
“So easy to book the night before and skip the looong queue standing in the heat the next day. This is the third time I've used this app while in Berlin and no issues at all. I plan to try it in Venice next.”
One day on Berlin’s Museum Island with a multi-museum ticket for Neues, Altes, Bode, Alte Nationalgalerie, plus Das Panorama when open.
“very good bang for buck, cheaper than buying all tickets together. they’re all very close together and a great way to explore !”
Cologne Chocolate Museum ticket for $19: 5,000 years of cocoa, glass factory demos, free tastings, and a 3-meter chocolate fountain.
“When we arrived we found out our tickets were just an entrance fee. I asked about a tour and the attendant said we could ask at the main counter. A few minutes later the manager came to us and gave us tickets to a chocolate tasting demo. It was excellently done and made the rest of the visit more enjoyable. To be honest, the ticket from GYG had no perks.”
Guided tour of Dresden’s Frauenkirche with priority entry and exclusive gallery access, tracing WWII ruins to the 2005 rebuild.
Skip-the-line entry to the Berlin Wall Museum at Checkpoint Charlie, with original escape artifacts and a powerful human-rights story.
“Interesting museum to tour. Lots of information all available in many different languages as well so it’s accessible for people of many backgrounds. It’s very thorough, and one could spend many hours absorbing the information.”
One ticket for Dresden Zwinger museums, including Old Masters, sculptures, porcelain, and the Royal Cabinet of Mathematical instruments, in a Baroque palace courtyard.
“It´s a mavelous museum. You should go there with time enough to calmly go across its innumerable lounges and aisles.”
Stuttgart Mercedes-Benz Museum entry with free 8-language audioguide, 160+ vehicles and 16,500 sqm across two routes.
“purchased the tickets in advance. we just scared them in the entrance carousel, no need to stand in any queue.”
Berlin’s Deja Vu Museum near Alexanderplatz mixes optical illusions, mirror rooms, and Oleg Shupliak art in 1.5 hours for $17.
“Great museum with a lot of cool and interactive displays, good way to spend an hour in Berlin”
Berlin BODY WORLDS tickets let you see real human plastinates and organ systems in one fascinating day at Dr. Gunther von Hagens museum.
“A very unique exhibition. I learned a lot about the human body in a very visual way. I liked how the information to read was in small chunks. I did not feel overwhelmed. The exhibit guided you through very naturally.”
Munich beer and food night with reserved tastings, a private Oktoberfest Museum visit, and Bavarian dinner, plus classic beer-hall stops.
“Worth every penny! Our tour guide Mike was absolutely fantastic!”
Glide on a solar catamaran along the Spree, see the East Side Gallery from the water, then cruise to Treptow Park for green river views.
“Brilliant tour, well worth the money and more. Great service and reasonable priced drinks served to you from the bar! Highly recommend for a summer trip!”
A 3-hour Cold War walk through Berlin’s wall line, spy agencies, and key sites like Tränenpalast and the East Side Gallery.
“Fantastic tour. Very Interesting and learnt so much about the cold war. Tour Guide was very informative. Highly recommended.”
