When to go to Berlin?
Museum Island lines up five collections along a bend of the Spree, from Pergamon antiquities to Egyptian portraiture. The Brandenburg Gate closes the far end of Unter den Linden, and at the East Side Gallery 1.3 km of concrete carries murals by artists from around the world. Between the two: courtyards, canals, cafés and a great deal of ground to cover.
