The second day in Berlin is devoted to exploring art. I am visiting the Museum Island, on the Spree River, the home of the city's most famous museums, which are hosting the unique collections of art, history and archeology.
I am very interested in the expositions with paintings and sculptures, so it was a paradise for me. For example, Neues Museum is known for its Egyptian collection, including the famous bust of Nefertiti. But Alte Nationalgalerie is my favourite, because it specializes in 19th-century art, featuring works by German Romantic artists and French Impressionists.
In addition to the museums, Museum Island is also home to the Berlin Cathedral, Berliner Dom, which is an impressive baroque-style church. The Berlin Cathedral is renowned for its grand dome, elaborate interior, and beautiful altars. And the dome rises to about 98 meters!
Of course, I could not but visit the remains of The Berlin Wall, which is one of the most significant historical landmarks in the city, symbolizing the division of East and West Berlin during the Cold War. It was erected in 1961 and fallen in 1989, marking the end of the Cold War era.
As far as I understood, Berlin is a city that constantly evolves, with new experiences, events, and hidden gems to discover each time you visit. A short trip gave me this taste. So, I would love to come to Berlin many times. And my next trip here should be planned also for summer.
