There are several museums located close to each other. If you enjoy museums, you might need a whole day to explore them. The most notable is the one housing the iconic Nefertiti statue from ancient Egypt.

Having lived in Berlin for a few months, this location continues to amaze me. It's truly my favorite spot in the city. It's worth visiting, especially on a sunny day (a rare treat) or at night.
