Destinations

Berlin has so much to offer. Influencer Caro Daur knows this too. On instagram, she recently revealed her favorite things about the German capital.

Art: Visit galleries

If you want to see art, you have to go to galleries. So far, so clear. In this respect, influencer Caro Daur recommends the Old and New National Gallery and the “Boros Bunker”. By the latter she means the Sammlung Boros. It is a private collection of contemporary art. It includes works international artists from the years 1990 to the present. It is housed in the Reichsbahnbunker Friedrichstraße, which was built in 1942 as a shelter for the civilian population.

The Alte Nationalgalerie currently houses around 2,000 paintings and just as many sculptures. As a permanent exhibition, the art of the 19th century can be admired here. Think Adolph Menzel, Dora Hitz, Franz von Stuck, Renoir, Manet, Monet, Degas and Cézanne. The Neue Nationalgalerie is also one of the top things to do in Berlin. Here, you can admire works by Warhol, Richter, Mattheuer and Brus.

Culture: Museum Island 

If you're interested in culture, you should definitely put Museum Island on your list of things to do. This is not only home to the Alte Nationalgalerie, but also a number of other cultural institutions. Nestled between the Spree and Spree Canal, even the historic buildings in which they are housed are worth seeing. Designed by five architects, the ensemble was completed in 1930.

Since then, millions of visitors have come every year. It has even been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. In the visitor center, the James Simon Gallery, you can learn all kinds of exciting things. It also serves as the central entry point for four of the five museums. If you like, you can also stroll through the Colonnade Courtyard with its sculptures and linger in the associated public park.
