3.DDR Museum Berlin Admission Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 352 reviews · 1 to 2 hours (approx.) · from $16

Visit Berlin’s DDR Museum opposite the cathedral and explore daily life in East Germany from 1949 to 1989. Recreated rooms, propaganda broadcasts, a Trabant, a housing-estate tour, election displays, and a Stasi interrogation scene make this a hands-on stop for adults and children.

“Some really interesting exhibits but more of an attraction than a museum. A subject that should be treated with sensitivity but there's an emphasis on fun and pushed as a family activity, so there were a lot of kids running about pressing buttons and messing about. Ruined the experience a bit. My advice, go when it's quiet. A great museum but ruined by being overrun with kids. Sorry for being grumpy.”

“The tour was fabulous! I have to say that I was very often disappointed by such tours. The guides are often boring or they are totally obsessed with details or totally superficial. Klaus guided us through the Museum Island with so much enthusiasm that you had to be excited too. The tour was great fun. It was interesting and fun and I was really pleased to have been there. Klaus is one of the guides who impart their knowledge in such an exciting way. What's more, it's the only real Museum Island tour in Berlin! So my absolute recommendation! I will definitely be booking more tours with Klaus! Thank you…”

Given his background in studying various museums across the globe, he was able to share his knowledge of the various museums along Berlin’s museum island in an engaging, enthusiastic way.
