It has over 150 museums with a huge selection of European masters and archeological artifacts. We will take advantage of visiting museums and even take time to draw from old masterpieces. Berlin is an old and also very modern city. Its architectural styles ranges from the ornate baroque like the Schloss Sanssouci, to ultra modern construction like the new Sony center.
