stepping back in time - the road to Museum Island



other than works by masters of the contemporary era, Berlin has a number of old buildings dated back to the 1830s. the Museum Island is one such area which hosts such. Taking the S-bahn and getting off at the Hachescher Markt, it's only walking distance in reaching the Museuminsel. Records suggested that this island might well be the cradle of Berlin's history, and settlements began at 1244 at this very island.
what could be better than housing some of the finest museum in Berlin?

there are 5 musuems on this island, the Alte Nationalgalerie, the Altes Museum, Neues Museum, the Pergamonmuseum and the Bode Museum.

the s-bahn is like MTR in HongKong or the the Tube in London. it runs on the surface while there is also an u-bahn which runs underground.
