Museum Island

If you plan to visit at least two of the 5 museums on Museum Island (essential), we recommend you select the option of 3 days + Museum Island, as this option includes the entrance to these museums. 

Museums on Museum Island:

• Ancient Museum (Altes Museum)
• New Museum (Neues Museum)
• National Antique Gallery (Alte Nationalgalerie)
• Bode Museum (Bode-Museum)
• Pergamonmuseum

Please note that the Pergamonmuseum is currently closed due to maintenance work. In 2027 the north wing of the museum, which houses the Pergamon Altar will open to the public.

In front of Museum Island, you'll find a new building where you can visit the exhibition "Pergamonmuseum. The Panorama!, where you'll learn about the altar's history

How does it work?

If you choose the 48 or 72-hour ticket, the validity begins at 8 am on your selected day. From then on, you'll be able to use it for the designated amount of time (48 or 72 hours) until 8 am on the last day.

If you select longer-duration tickets (the 4-day ticket or more), the card's validity will begin when it is used for the first time on the first day until midnight on the last day.

Remember to validate it the first time you use it. After that, it's no longer necessary.

Each Berlin WelcomeCard is valid for one adult and up to 3 children.
