Markt, museum, park 1

No typo there--it's German.

Visited an antiques market near Tiergarten station. You could say we were expecting a different kind of market...

The 3-day museum pass is the best! For €7.50, as student can visit dozens of museums. Another great thing is that there are clusters of museums, such as those at Kulturforum and Museuminsel (Museum Island, a World Heritage Site), so you need not go far to go from one museum to the next for most major museums.

It's too time-consuming to go into the specifics of each site, so let the photos do the talking. I just need to point out the Jewish Museum for its unconventional (and disorienting) structure, which is truly noteworthy.
