Museum Island and Unter den Linden Self-Guided Audio Walk: Gendarmenmarkt, Berliner Dom and Bode Museum

About this experience

Berlin's historic center was built as a stage. Towers went up purely to dress a square, plaster was painted to pass for stone, and grand fronts were burned, bombed, demolished and put back. Start on the Gendarmenmarkt between two domed towers and Schinkel's concert hall, then cross Bebelplatz, where a glass plate shows a room of empty shelves for the books burned in 1933. Walk Unter den Linden past the Neue Wache and the arsenal with helmets over its arches, over the Palace Bridge to the Lustgarten. Count the Altes Museum's eighteen columns, look up at the Berliner Dom and its hung skin of stone, pass a granite bowl ground out by steam, and walk the colonnade where the Neues Museum's war scars were left showing. Cross the Spree and finish facing the Bode Museum at the island's tip. Twelve stops, about 1.8 km and 75 minutes, at your own pace, in English. Museum and Dom entry is not included.
