I suggest visiting the Brandenburg Gate early in the morning, around 7 AM. You'll have the place nearly to yourself for some awesome pics without the crowds.

I think joining a free walking tour that includes the Gate is a fun way to learn more. Just tip the guide at the end; it’s a win-win!

My advice is to check out the nearby park, Tiergarten, for a nice stroll before or after your visit. It's super relaxing and only a short walk away.

I recommend checking out the visitor center's exhibitions first. It gives you a fantastic overview and makes the outdoor sections more meaningful when you go back out to explore.

If you're traveling on a budget, pack a snack. The nearby cafes can be pricey, and you might want to spend more time exploring than running around looking for food.

If you happen to visit on a Sunday, keep in mind that it’s less crowded but some nearby attractions might be closed, so plan accordingly.

I suggest visiting in the late afternoon, around 4 PM. The light is beautiful for photos, and fewer tourists are around, so you can really soak in the atmosphere.

Make sure to wear comfy shoes! Exploring the whole length of the gallery on foot can be tiring, especially if you want to stop and admire all the details.

Check out the nearby cafes for a snack after your visit. I found a cute little spot that served amazing coffee just a short walk away, which was a perfect way to relax!

I think the museum is bigger than it looks, so plan for at least 2-3 hours if you want to see everything properly. I went in thinking I'd be done in an hour and ended up rushing through the last bits!

If you're planning to check out the gift shop, do it before you leave, not after. I waited until the end and they had sold out of a few cool items I wanted!

I recommend visiting on a weekday if you can, it's way less crowded and you can actually take your time looking at everything. My friend and I went on Tuesday and it was great!

I recommend getting there right when it opens at 10 AM on weekdays. It gets super busy later, and you'll enjoy more of the exhibits without the crowd!

check the schedule for workshops or special events – they can be a great add-on to your visit. i stumbled upon a cool one and it was totally worth it!

My advice is to take the tram or subway instead of driving. Parking can be super tricky around the museum area, and public transport is really convenient.

My advice is to do some research on the history beforehand. It really enhanced my experience to know a bit about Frederick the Great and the palace’s significance.
