Museum Island Reviews & Ratings
-
Beware the confusion of booking mandatory time slots for three of the five island museums. The Berlin:museum Island one day pass sold by visitberlin.de for €19 comes with zero instructions on selecting time slots while also threatening that the pass is invalid without time slots. The actual Berlin museum webpages (smb) offer no hint on booking time slots unless you are buying the ticket on their webpage. After much emailing to visitberlin.de and to smb and getting auto replies repeating the same confusing circular threats/warning and zero help or URLs for booking time slots, I finally got an answer from a real human. The secret is to scroll down to the bottom of the ticket types where it says other ticket holders, then you see the Museum Island day pass and select it for zero Euros. The person who revealed the solution to the mystery provided screen shots with the steps circled. I would not have been able to figure it out. Expect zero directions on your eticket about how to book your mandatory time slots and if you fail to do it you won’t succeed in getting in on the day because all time slots will be taken.
