Alte Nationalgalerie

Awesome museum with a fabulous permanent collection and always a great rotating collection! Coat check is free with admission and there is an espresso bar in the cellar! I came here with a dear friend the last days and we just get lost walking around chatting about art and life. It was very busy this past Sunday but normally when I go it’s very chilled and perfect for viewing art! Here are some pics from my journey that I took

The interior is very beautiful and impressive, I felt really amazed walking inside. There are so many interesting things to learn and explore. However, the ticket price is a bit expensive (14€), and some areas were closed during my visit, which was a little disappointing. It’s worth visiting once, but probably not a place I would go a second time.

The Alte Nationalgallerie, located next to the 'Neues Museum, featured oil paintings between the French revolution and WWI. Many beautiful landscape and portrait paintings. Visiting time 2+ h. Free lockers available.

An amazing museum for classic paintings! Even if you’re not an art nerd, it’s worth visiting, just make sure you have at least 2,5 hours (maybe even 3) to enjoy the paintings. As a student, my ticket was 8€! Not bad. The reception gentleman was friendly and english accommodating; there are free lockers before (outside) the lobby where you buy tickets. P.s. I came late in the afternoon around 1,5 hours before closing and I had to wait in line several minutes + I didn’t have enough time to see everything, so definitely don’t do what I did.

Alte Nationalgalerie is a truly beautiful gallery, offering a mix of permanent collections and rotating temporary exhibitions — both equally captivating in their own way. The artworks are thoughtfully curated, and the building itself feels like a masterpiece. The surrounding grounds, dotted with sculptures and framed by grand architecture, add to the charm and make the whole area feel serene and almost timeless. It’s the kind of place where everything naturally slows down, inviting you to wander, pause, and really take in the art and atmosphere.
