especially "carefree" public transport, but also the Museum Island where, unfortunately, the Pergamon Museum is closed.

The person who answered our questions was kind and took the time to talk to each person, answering all our questions. I appreciate that! I liked that he was nice to us, but also that he was nice to other people.

Beautiful museum with ancient works from prehistory to the arrival of Christianity. Too bad we could not take a souvenir photo of the wonderful bust of Nefertiti, it will surely remain the magical memory.
