A very modern square with a lot to see. Among its sights are the Film Museum in the Sony Center (a building straight from the future), the Neue Nationalgalerie - where you can peruse modern art in a modern architectural icon by Mies van der Rohe -, as well as the Gemäldegalerie - a picture gallery home to famous paintings by the great old masters. Then there is still the Phillarmonie, and opposite to it, the Staatbibliothek (state library), both architectural masterpieces by local hero, Hans Scharoun. Do yourself a favor and go inside!

Why not get a 3-day museum pass and really enjoy all that Museumsinsel has to offer?
If you are short on time, you can just walk around and enjoy all the beautiful buildings from outside. The reason why they call it an island is because the river Spree surrounds it. Its bridges and parks are impressive, as is the Berlin Cathedral just next door.
